Last Week

Its official! I leave in ONE WEEK! Its amazing what the Lord has done through all this. Yesterday I said goodbye to family (aunts, uncles, cousins and grandma), it was a bit rough. This last week theres so much to do and if your wondering I have yet to pack. Yesterday I was commissioned as well at Messiah Episcopal Church, the support I have! The Lord really gave me a reminder. Thank you Jesus!

This is my last week at work, its weird saying that. Excited to start a new season in life. When I get back I will have a spot still, which is a blessing unless the Lord does something between now and then. Which is as all of you may know is completely possible.

My team to Rwanda consists of 14 people, 4 of them medical the rest being Architecture or Engineering. I will be able to learn so much from them! It looks like I will be the youngest of the group, which just means I can soak up all the wisdom.

Donations: I still need roughly 3,000 dollars. No matter the amount it can go so far and be used so well. The Lord has been truly providing its amazing. You can donate online at www.emiusa.org. Put my name in the intern/volunteer section of the form.

ONE WEEK! I am so excited!! I have alot of mixed feelings. Its all rolled into one. Final details to arrange, make sure I have everything, shots, bug spray, malaria pills ect. Last week it seems like i was saying i still have 2 months but its down to 1 week.

Prayer Needs:

- My team (14 of us)
- the time we will be in Rwanda, traveling, housing, the People
- Preperation for the trip, I will be in England for the month before we leave for Rwanda.

Thanks for reading this slightly jumbled mess.

God Bless

Laura
