Dear Readers,
This month is zipping by faster than I can keep up. It is
officially 30 days from today that I will be in Kander at BFA! I began this
month at training in Chicago where I met a lot of people who I will be serving
with over the next two years and those relationships are a huge encouragement
as I say goodbye to so many here. In those hard goodbyes God is giving me
wonderful memories: road trips to my favorite camp and beach, hikes, weddings,
coffee dates, movie dates, and so on and so forth. I hope to have time to say
goodbye to everyone, but like I said, time is flying by so fast.
So what do I have left to do in this last month in
preparation to move? Excellent question! Starting off I need to keep going
through boxes of stuff to donate, store, or pack. I can’t believe how much
stuff I saved from high school and thought that I would want it down the road.
Can anyone relate? Part of the packing process is determinate on how many bags
I can bring. Through my mission agency, if I can book through a specific
airline, I will be able to bring 3 checked bags. WOAH! I know. I had the same
reaction. So once I get to 90% of monthly support I will book my flight and
then know how to pack.
I’m spending a lot of time raising support, meeting with
potential donors and mentally preparing for the job that I am about to step
into. If you would like to meet with me or have questions about joining my team
I would love to talk to you! Even if you don’t know how you can help I would be
honored to answer any questions you have and try and help you find a way that
is freezable for you. To contact me please email at larisawmissions@gmail.com
Also, if you would like to sign up for my prayer letter
shoot me an email and I’ll put you on the list.
Every weekend of my remaining month is filled with weddings
that I am either in, photographing, or attending. I’m grateful to have these
times to celebrate with friend before I go!
I have one big prayer
request this week:
- I am having a fundraising dessert this Monday (the 15th). Please pray that God would urge many to come and that they would feel excited to join in this journey that God has brought me on
Thank you again for your prayers! They are more encouraging
than you know!
