Update...

Dear Loved Ones,

I just wanted to write you a little update about the progress that has been made over the past week.... We have found someone to take my spot in my current apartment. This was a huge blessing and reduces the overall expenses I will need to cover during the trip. All of my classes will end right before I leave, allowing me to finish this semester without penalty. I was able to find a way to have donations be tax deductible, see donations page for more details on that. All of my shots are up to date, so you don't need to worry about me getting typhoid. I have most of the gear that I will need during my time away. I did a trial packing the other day and things are looking good. I will be dedicated and "sent out" this Sunday Dec 3rd during "The Heights" service at 10:45 at North Heights Church in Arden Hills. The only thing left now is receiving funds to help make all of this possible. God has already been orchestrating all of this to work, and many things have lined up to allow for this to happen, all in a very short amount of time and with little to no effort on my part. I am just stepping out in faith and it is almost as if the Lord is laying the ground out before me. It has been amazing to see Him bring all these things together as only He can. He is faithful. Please continue to pray for me as the days quickly pass by and I will soon find myself under the stars of the Costa Rican sky. Thank you for all of your love and support.
