I'm currently in the process of writing Thank You notes to all of you who have so graciously donated money to me! (I apologize for taking so long to write them.) I obviously won't know exactly how much I will need for my outreach because of several reasons including: I don't know where I'm going yet, plane ticket prices, and the fluctuation of the Euro. They say that it could be anywhere from 2,000-3,000 Euro or $2,980-4255. So, I'm pretty much just shy of halfway.

Thanks to my wonderful church, I have money for my plane tickets to Germany and back, and probably a little more -- depending on prices.

Last but certainly not least, and possibly most importantly... a hugmongus thanks to my parents -- they agreed to pay for the lecture phase of the school, which is 1860 Euro. Seriously, this trip would not be possible without them supporting me 110% Not only have they paid for the lecture phase, thanks to them, I also have my backpack, new luggage, a six months supply of makeup, shampoo, conditioner, snow boots... me and mom have been buying things I need throughout the past few months so that I all wasn't crammed into one massive purchase.

I cannot express just how much I appreciate your prayers and financial support while I'm gone. I'm awed everyday by God's provision and blessing on this trip. I'm constantly reassured that this is where I belong.

[There was a time, not too long ago, when I thought I would never be able to say that. For almost the past year, I've felt as though I've been going through the motions, trying to feel something, feel alive, waiting for my life to start... not anymore! This is it!!]

Happy Monday
