Update....

On my arrival back to NC, I knew that I would be in Haiti soon. The Tuesday after I got home, I received a text from Paul Langston asking if I wanted to go back January 30-February 5th. I had prayed for an opportunity to return soon and the door opened.

Unfortunately it has been met with challenges. First and foremost is the cost. It is $1000 to go plus any extra money I take. Luckily I won't need all those shots again which will save me a few hundred dollars! My shots are taken care of for five years!

I'm not going to lie or sugarcoat things, it is what it is. There has been talk from a few people about how we need to focus on our community and take care of our own people first. Wow!! I really feel sorry for people who feel that way. My Bible says we are to go to the ends of the earth, not just in our community, state, or country. I do believe we should take care of our own and I do my part in our community, more than what people know.

So after being discouraged for the past week, I am going to try to accept things and just focus on my trip.

With the help of a few friends, I am having a spaghetti dinner fundraiser on December 1st at 5:45. Hopefully people will come and eat before church service and donate as well. I'm not going to expect a big crowd but will be grateful for who shows up. I'm also selling ornaments and have sold about 30 so far. I've had 2 Thirty-One parties. All in all, I am about $250 closer to going. December 15th is my deadline so I'm working hard :)

When going through trials, I try to remember the trials that Jesus went through for me. He was tortured and crucified for me. I should be able to handle a few negative people easily right?

So if you're reading this pray for me. I will get through this!!
