Onward and Upward :)

Onward and Upward :)

My passport application is scheduled! YAY!

I tried to schedule my travel inoculations with one establishment ... I will not recommend them.
Thankfully, friends from Calvary who are well-versed in mission travel, gave me great recommendations for a travel clinic. This travel clinic was terrific and I will call when we're closer to November to schedule that appointment.

A few more odds and ends with notarization and the paperwork will be complete for this week, anyway. :)

I purchased a backpack--a terrific sale! Woohoo

We've established a Uganda Bound spot in the basement complete with two tables and plenty of space to hang calendars, to-do's, paperwork, etc.

Praise the LORD, I feel like we're on the right track and making progress.

I'll keep you posted on the progress--I know the trip seems far away but it will be here before we know it!!!!

TTYL! :)

Making progress . . . s-l-o-w-l-y

Most of the letters are out but I'm having to wait on my Dad :) to apply for the passport and visas. Both my parents need to be present in order to "qualify." haha That's ok. We're looking at next week. It is a good thing that Daddy's been busy!!!! Thank You, LORD!

Stay tuned! I've invited some really cool people to check out my blog. I've asked them to keep me and my trip in their prayers. What an honor.

Have a great weekend and remember Japan in your prayers! We have friends stationed over there but so far so good--they moved to higher ground so they are ok.

My Mom-mom & Pop-pop lent me their old Deskjet printer so we're back up and running!! Woohoo! We hand delivered a few letters today. We have several more to mail out but we're back on schedule. This week my to-do's are:

Apply for passport and visa(s) ...
Get a few documents notarized ...
Check out Old Navy's sale for items I'll need for the trip ...

Thanks for your support and for checking in!

Barricades and such . . .

Barricades and such . . .
Well, we knew it wouldn't be easy. I think we'll journal all the roadblocks we encounter just to trace the Hand of God and praise Him for all that He's helped us conquer. The first--our printer. argh. What a disaster. We managed to mail quite a few support letters before the printer became completely defiant, however, now we are left with "how do we finish?!" Stay tuned--it'll work out! :)

There is so much to do. I have one of those huge desk calendars to make sure we keep everything straight and on time.

Give me a shout out either here or on FB so I know I'm supported!!!!

THANKS!
