Thank You

This weekend at the Sunday school group I attend, we were discussing being made in the image of God as part of a discipleship series our church is going through. We talked about 1 John 4:12, which says God's love is complete in us when we love one another. We then were asked to write a letter to someone who had really impacted our life positively in the last year or so. I couldn't think of anyone specifically who had changed my life that much, so I ended up just thinking about all of the different people in my life from family to close friends to church leaders that have given me encouragement this year despite all of the setbacks and trials I have gone through. I then decided that I wanted to write this post in recognition of your support. If you are reading this, you probably fall into one of those categories, so thank you very much!! Your thoughts and prayers have not gone unnoticed.

As you will notice to the right, I am now up to 25% on my monthly support (woo hoo!) . I still have a few others to follow up with as well, so I could be at 30-33% after I follow up with them. I continue to plug away at this process of support raising, so far I'm on target for a late January departure and cannot wait to get to Bolivia.

Some news from Trinidad - recently the project's status as a "convenio" (semi-private school) was renewed by the Bolivian Government for five years, guaranteeing it can run for at least that long. This comes at a time when Bolivian President Evo Morales is seeking to eliminate all private and convenio schools. Praise God for this huge blessing upon La Palmera C.C.C.!
