Tour Update

Friends and Family,

Tour has begun and it is great! J I am currently in a beautiful house in Roanoke, Indiana enjoying the company of all the ladies on my team watching a movie with our host home. Today was our first “official day” of tour. By that I mean we sang at an alumni breakfast the other day at 7 am!!! PtL He helped us warm up our voices in time! But today we did our first full service for Sunday morning and this afternoon we sang at another church. I have already been so blessed by my interactions with every one we have met.
This past Saturday we had an opportunity to help out at a homeless shelter. It was a blast because we got to serve with other groups that we hadn’t met before. We made hundreds of peanut sandwiches, chip baggies and put them together to make lunch bags. We also organized bread and cans, and other things that they needed help with. What a blessing it was and joy to help them! They have an amazing ministry there.
The other day I also got to meet Cheryl and Darrell who are the main people I am going to be working with over in Kurdistan. It was such a joy to meet them and learn more about what it is going to look like while I am there. I found out I am going to be teaching English at the center and I am pretty excited about that! It really was a blessing to meet them and talk with them. Such an enjoyably couple!! J I also found out that there are 3 other teammates that I will be with for the whole year, one other lady and 2 guys.
Also, ptL, He is still providing for me to head on out in August. He is still providing in 20’s and I keep having to smile….it takes 500 twenty dollar bills to get $10,000 and that is about what it is going to take for me to live in Kurdistan for a year, that includes everything. So far He has provided about $500….so that’s only 475 more twenty dollar bills that I need J that’s pretty sweet!!!
Thank you all again for your support in every way. I truly am blessed by your support! Feel free to email me with any updates in your life as well.
