Back in Mil-Town!

So I am back in Milwaukee...well, Mequon, but same thing.

I had a wonderful time in Florida, and raised my first support!  I don't know if I said it before, but right now my financial profile includes a financial goal of $27,045 to raise.  This includes my housing, food, materials for teaching, travel, and, well, basically what I need to live for a year, plus to help support the English center.

So my very first support was raised, and I am on my way to doing more fundraising.  This weekend I will be speaking at St John's in Glendale to raise support during the bible study hour.  I will then return home to South Dakota to continue fundraising in my hometown.  Usually you fundraise there first, but because of dates of travel that was already planned, I did things a little out of order :)  If anyone reading this knows of any churches or individuals who would like to meet with a missionary to discuss support prayerfully or financially, then I will make it a point to contact them.

Right now I am in a class, of all things!  I returned back to my school to visit some friends and to meet with my placement councilor, and I decided to walk my former roommate to her class, and her professor convinced me to stay!  It is a lecture on how to lecture!  It may be helpful for me to sit in on this class, so it works out alright :)  They are peer editing at the moment, so I opened up my blog and am getting some work done!

I don't have too many more updates.  One thing I can update you on was my adventure in Florida: I went skydiving!  It was amazing, and I would love to explain it to you if you want!  It was such an adventure, and I would love to do it again.  I had a dream last night that I did it again :)  I loved it!  It's not the feeling of falling that you expect.  It is pretty much just a wind-tunnel feeling :)

Right now I am a bit sick.  2 nights ago I went to bed by 11:30 and didn't wake up until 11am.  Then, last night, I ended up going to bed at 10:30pm.  I cannot believe how much sleep I have been getting.  Even when I have nothing going on, I do not sleep that much.  So I have determined that I am sick.  So if anyone wants anything to pray for this week, please pray that I feel better.  You can also pray for safety in travel!  I am also in need of prayer for the fundraising process.  I was a little discouraged because the first church said no.  But I know that that is going to happen!  They still want to support me prayerfully, but just not financially.  I am ok with that, but it just brought to reality that it will not be a picnic raising the funds.  But I trust that God will bring me the needed support to do the work that He has planned for me to do in His Name!
