Where to start.
I have made it home to Colorado where I will be for 4 weeks before I leave to go to Australia. My Mum flew out from Colorado and then we had a mini road trip back home. Let’s just say I’ve seen enough of my car that I am ok taking a break from diving right now. Before we drove from California to Colorado I went on a mini road trip of my own to visit family/ DTS family up north. It was a great trip and am so thankful for the time that I got with each and every person I was able to see. On the way to Colorado my Mum and I stopped in Indio to visit our cousin and see her at work. She is a teacher for deaf and hard of hearing kids. It was a blast! I *tried* to teach them phonics/reading…not an easy task with these children but I enjoyed it VERY much. You all know I LOVE heat I just love it! I am sad that I will be leaving a beautiful summer here in America and going to winter in Australia but I will survive. I bring heat up because it was 122 in Indio! My poor cousin and Mum were melting. Next we stopped in Arizona to visit dear friends that really are family. Guess what!! It got to 124; what did I do in that crazy heat? Well I stayed outside in it for 5 hours with my best friend! Needless to say we were a little warm when we finally came inside. Next we drove to New Mexico and stopped over night in Santa Fe to rest up and then finished out journey home the next morning. It was been a very busy last couple weeks, even just being home has been filled with things to take care of. Since getting home I have applied for 1 of 2 visas’ I will be using in Australia, sent out for a FBI background check, filled out more paper work and trees that sometimes I wonder if missionaries are the reason for de-forestation; with still more paper work to come. Not everything is rainbows and butterflies though. It was hard to leave my friends and family in California and will be hard to leave my family here as well, but I know that this is where God has called me and will give me peace in my heart to say goodbye. My support is not where I would like it to be with less than a month away from leaving. Right now my monthly support total is 20 out of 880 dollars. I am trying my best not to get discouraged but to trust God and that he will provide. I’m currently trying to sell my car as a way to help raise funds and hopefully pay for my ticket to Australia. There is a quick summary of what’s going on as I begin this journey. As always feel free to e-mail and call or snail mail J. If you have questions about what I’ll be doing ask me! Or have a prayer request I’d love to pray for you. Some prayer point s right now are
That I can get everything straightened out and I don’t feel like a chicken with it’s head cut off.

For
monthly prayer partners and for monthly supports.
That I
can enjoy this time with my family that I know will be so precious to me once I
leave.
Blessings!
