I hope everyone had a beautiful and blessed Easter!!! I had a totally awesome time with my parents visiting the Cherry Blossom Festival, Middleburg, and checking out some local wineries...
So yes, I'm getting very anxious about my trip since I hope to leave near the end of May or beginning of June and it's already April!! However, here's what I do know so far... the folks my application was sent to are actually not the correct folks, so my application has now been sent to the correct place. A couple weeks ago I spoke with Jan Kaiser who called to interview me for TESOL but realized that's not what I was looking into and we talked about Jamaa Letu Orphanage which is where I really would love to go. I just got an email today that Jan is actually on her way to the Congo now and will talk to Francine (who I believe gives the okay for volunteers) while she's there and HOPEFULLY I'll know something soon. God has taught me over time that when I wait for God to work things out instead of pushing ahead without God that amazing things can happen. However, I don't believe prayers can hurt anything too badly so please pray that I'll hear something very soon so I can dig into fundraising and preparing for my trip!!
Many blessings!
Jesus loves you!
