I am so happy

I have just arrived back at school and things are going great. This weekend I spoke at my church (Cornerstone Wesleyan). I spoke at both of our services and the people in my church were so receptive. They came up to me afterwards to tell me how excited they were for me and how they wanted to help.

On the Saturday night a man came up to me and shook my hand and started speaking to me. The problem was I could not understand him, which caused a very blank look on my face. He then realized that I have not started my language lessons and I could not understand him speaking Russian to me. This allowed for a very humorous experience for me, and one that I am sure I will experience way more once I get there.

So for the big numbers. So for this weekend alone I was given roughly $1100 just from people handing in their cards. This does not include the money that was previously given. So for a rough total I have about $2850 raised.

That means I only have $7224 left to raise.

Thank for everyone who has already given, or has put down that they would like to be prayer partners.

Carpe Diem
