I was so happy that I was able to make a speech at my church here at school (Wesley United Methodist). It was such a blessing unto me! I was also the lay reader for the service and got to help serve communion for the first time in my life :). I was prepared for the speech, so it went really well, and I also shared my testimony with the congregation.
After the service, a bunch of people came up to me and wished me 'good luck' with my trip. Some even came and gave me donations right on the spot! How God does move! A big blessing that came out of the speech was when I was speaking with a lady after the service. She asked me if I had a job for the summer, and I said "No not really, just some tentative work." So she offered me a job for 3 weeks and will pay about $3000!! What a great opportunity!! That will sure help my fundraising a ton :). It is amazing how God works!
Someone at church also offered to set up a fundraising concert for me, but it looks like that might not happen because of scheduling conflicts. I hope that we will be able to work it out, but if not then I just have to trust that God has something else planned for me. I really have to just give everything fully to Him, instead of worrying about it. It's hard sometimes, but I'm trying and praying :). I'm excited to see how God will continue to work and to bless me through this time of fundraising! Now to worry about final exams, whoopi!
