Hello world!

Hello friends and family!!

I started this blog so that I could continually keep everyone updated with the journey God has me on for this summer. I am assuming everyone knows about the trip because you have either received a support letter or are part of my facebook group (If you want a letter, email me (dance912@ufl.edu) or facebook me your address and I will mail you one!)

I am three weeks into raising support and I am at 20%! This is a great start, but I am praying rediculously hard that the rest will start to come in. Its uncomfortable asking friends and family for money, especially with the state of the economy, but God has proven himself faithful no matter what the NASDAQ is for the day. I am gonna try and do supporter shout out on here every time I update.

First ever supporter shout out-
Mom & Pops
Trung Vo
Sarah Connolly
Mark Mappes

Thank you guys so much!!!

The closer I get to the project start date, the more excited I become (current countdown: 65 days!!). I have been meeting some of my fellow project-ers via facebook and I am so stoked to spend my summer with them. Not only am I the only person from UF going, I am the only one from the state of Florida! Everyone else is coming from just about every other state out there- New Mexico, Colorado, North Carolina, Louisiana, Kansas.... I cannot wait.

This is the first of many many many updates to come, and I am going to try and update at least twice a week while I am on project. I am still desperate for support, and literally every penny counts. If you can give $5, thats great. If every single person in my facebook group gave only $5, I would be almost halfway to my goal!! I am so blessed with the most amazing friends and family God could ask for, and I thank God for all of you every night. Please help me on my way to the most amazing summer of my life! If you feel any inkling in your mind or heart right now, go get your checkbook1 This is not only an opportunity for me to trust God with money, it can be an opportunity for you too!

Have a magical day!!
