July

After returning from Mission Training in Colorado I really hit the group running in June going straight to back-to-back basketball camps at multiple weddings. After a road trip from Chicago to Arizona life has finally begun to settle down a bit. I don't have anymore camps until the end of July so a lot of my time right now is being spent finalizing support raising and some details for my departure in September.

The reality of me leaving soon really sunk in last week when I got an update on one of the families that I was in Colorado with had already moved to Ecuador and was getting settled in. But with my move still 2 months away right now I am enjoying spending time with my family and friends.

I am starting to put my email update list together and have decided to not deal with the hassle of updating via mail. My 2 forms of updates will be through this blog and through email, so please send me your email address if you want to be added to the list! I'm anticipating sending an email update every month or so and then updating this blog on a fairly regular basis. I'm also working on my ministry prayer card/magnet, email me your address if you want to receive one so you can remember to keep me in your prayers.

I am encouraged in support raising that I have reached about 85% of support needed for my 2 years in the DR. I still have a decent amount to raise and if you have been meaning to send in support for me, this is a GREAT time to do it. Every little bit helps especially as I'm getting closer and closer to the goal. As always don't hesitate to call or email with any questions regarding my departure, plans, or support raising.
