Two weeks ago, I was feeling to desperate to get to the field and now, I have a flight out of here for Sunday, August 14--just under three weeks away! Praise the Lord! I will definitely miss all of my friends and family and church family that I will be leaving back home, but I know that this is God's plan for me right now and I'm glad to finally see it happening. When I arrive, my first task will be to fill the need at SAM Academy, the school for the missionary kids, as a teacher. I will be teaching Bible classes and possibly other courses as well until more permanent teachers are able to come to the field. But once I get settled in, I will still hopefully have the time to get involved in the ministries I had planned to do, with the youth in the city and the crisis pregnancy center.
I do not actually have all the funds I need to stay two years, so they re-budgeted and are allowing me to go down for 10 months with the potential to stay longer should the funding come in. But I'm still $5000 short to stay even for the 10 month period we're planning on.
