11 days away..

Hey guys..

I am so excited, as I only have 11 days until I actually leave! I thought I would give an update to all of you who have been following & supporting me through this journey. I first want to again, THANK all of you, SO much. This really would not be happening if it weren't for your generosity and prayers. I appreciate it more than I can express.

As I mentioned before, Youth In Mission sent out an email about signing up for a credit card for the remaining balance that we may have at the time of departure. I received a more detailed email about this issue today and it was informing me that I must sign up for a credit card if the balance is still exsistant when I leave on May 26th, but nothing will be charged to it until my arrival back to the states on JULY 26th. HALLELUJAH! I will sign up for a credit card very soon..

This means that I have TWO MORE MONTHS TO FUNDRAISE. This is very crucial and important for this cause. I have to raise $1,850.00 before JULY 26th. (100 people giving $18.50) I really ask you to pray and ask God about this cause, as it is a great one. I pray that he places the funds in the hands of those that are willing to use it in the way that he would ask them to. If there is anything you would like to do to help, it is GREATLY GREATLY appreciated. Again, the website for funding is : http://web.nazarene.org/site/TR/Events/YouthInMission?pxfid=2143&fr_id=1160&pg=fund

I also received another email today with more detail on where we will be staying and such. My team will be staying at Mozambique Nazarene University. This is a sigh of relief to a lot of family I know, as it should be safer than a lot of scenarios could be. Also, we will have a mixture of work within the large city of Maputo (capital) and other surrounding small villages (which would be more like the "dirty Africa" you see on commercials). We will do a lot of traveling from church to church and working with many children and youth. I am so excited! It's getting very close. Again, I hope to update this blog from MNU, assuming we will have internet access from time to time.

Thank you all again, and purposefully pray for the remaining funds.
Love Always, Allyson
