Business Fundraising

So my mom, sister, and I all got together and banged out a mailing list of almost 140 local businesses! We were stuffing and stamping envelopes, it was some great Saturday afternoon fun :)

I'm glad that we got to mail the letters before the week began. I had ordered some return address labels and some other labels to make the job a bit easier. However, I did hand-write all of business' addresses. It's cool though because I'm used to writing a ton for my Accounting classes :)

I pray that God will make my efforts fruitful.

Fund raising

I'm so glad that I finally get to invest myself fully to fundraising! I compiled a list of local businesses that I'm going to send letters to. I'm also preparing a slide show which will run by itself, and will have music (sort of like a commercial). I'll try to show it during one (or more) of my upcoming speeches.

Feels so good to be done with school!!

Graduation!

Tomorrow I graduate and I can't be more excited! The end of one life and the beginning of a new one :)

I am now going to be able to invest myself fully into fundraising, so please pray that I am able to find good ways to fund raise.

Speech and Blessings

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!

Service Speech

Today I made a speech during both services at the First United Methodist Church in Westborough. I was very nervous during both speeches, more so for the first, but I know that God was working because a bunch of people came up to me afterwards and offered advice and support to me. Thank you FUMC Westborough for having me and listening to me! I appreciate everyone's support! :)

First Speech

I made my first speech yesterday to the United Methodist Women's group, and it went really well. I really enjoyed making the speech and it was a joy being able to talk with them about my trip. I especially enjoyed sharing my testimony :). I really want to thank the United Methodist Women for having me and listening to me, they are a blessing unto me :)

Welcome!
