Sorry!

I'm so sorry! I cannot believe I haven't posted since January! Well it's been a crazy last few months! At NMC we put on the show Godspell and I was the Stage Manager. It was a lot of work and a lot of stress but I loved every minute of it. I got to build relationships with some pretty awesome people. And I worked with 4 people who will also be with me on the Tanzania Trip!

Ok so, these last few months have also been hard with finances, especially with support raising. I had kind of hit a plateau in which I just wasn't getting in any more support. A lot of that was my fault because if I think about it, I really wasn't working as hard as I should have been in asking for money. But I finally got my butt into gear and sent out another batch of letters. And then I had a meeting with two of the team leaders, Rick and Laura, and they gave me some suggestions on how to raise more money (and I'll be honest, I still haven't done many of their ideas). Because of school and tech week of Godspell and Spring Break, time is just flying by! BUT that was 3 weeks ago and when I got my status update this week, I have raised over 1000 dollars since that meeting! Praise God! It's seriously all to Him that the money is STILL coming in! He has blessed me with some pretty wonderful friends and family!

So what's the money update you might ask? WELL I'll tell you! So even though I'm still not where I need to be (since I was suppose to have it all turned in on April 1st) here's the total:

I have raised a grand total of $2,007 and I still need to raise $1,493

Yay! For once the amount I have is more than the amount that I need!

But I still need help! So if you're reading this and are able to support me financially please let me know! If 150 people gave at least 10 dollars, I can go no problem!
