So ExCiTeD!!!

Today we headed out to Southern Pines to Kathy's house for our official last meeting before our trip to Africa!!  In four weeks we will be leaving!! I cant believe it!  It was such a great day. We all met at Kathy's house (the whole group, minus a few) and we all got to meet and hang out together before the trip.  We also go to talk about where we are as far as donations and answering any questions that people had.  Then after we took care of business we all ate hamburgers, chicken and hot dogs (which were delicious!) lol It was soo nice to have the group all together as well as our family and friends.  God is just continuing to amaze me in the ways He is blessing our group for the trip.  Today at church the message was exactly what i needed to hear and I am more ready to go now then I ever was and I'm soo excited to get there already.  I know God is going to use me and the group to do some amazing things there.  I want to say thank you to everyone who has donated to me, my mom, dad or brother to help us to go on this trip.  It has meant the world to us and we could not have done it with out you!  We are not fully funded yet, buuuut we know that God wants us to go on this trip, so He will provide us with the funds to go.  I appreciate all the people who are praying for me and for this trip.  You guys mean the world to me, and I just thought I would take the time to thank you guys and to give you and update of what has been going on.  I know I am kinda rambling and a lil scattered with my thoughts, but I'm just so excited to go! lol
