So you want to talk to me?

I have come to realize that there are some people that did not receive a special-dilly envelope in the fundraising letters I sent out, and that maybe perhaps, there is someone who is reading this that didn't get one at all. If that is the case, and you would like to send a gift to help with my mission year in Africa, here is the information for that.

• For a CHECK: Make check out to "Student Missions Fund" DO NOT PUT MY NAME ON IT!!!!
• For CREDIT CARD: Specify company (choose from Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express); Write card number and expiration date; sign piece of paper all this lovely information is on.
• For CASH: Put in envelope. :) No special instructions here.
• For ANY DONATION: Put my name on a SEPERATE piece of paper not directly attached to paper, if my name is on the form of payment, this will not be tax-deductible; Put your name, address, phone and email (somewhat optional) - it will assure that you get a tax-deductible receipt in the mail and so I know who to send my thank-you notes to. :)
• To send: Make envelopes out to: Office of Student Missions; Walla Walla College; 204 South College Avenue; College Place, WA 99324-9986

If you would like to contact me otherwise, let me get back to you on that. I don't really want to put my email address for the world to see, so I'll see how I can fix that. (If you received a donation letter, it should be on there.)

As far as the update on the mission, there is no update. I have not heard back from the doctor still and I have sent in the last piece of information that WWC needs from me. Now I just wait and pray for progress that the doctor is making over there. Thanks for your prayers!

Reflective thought for the day: We all try to better our lives and fix our problems by buying new and improved gadgets and toys. Sometimes I wonder how people could live without movies, cell phones, airplanes, refrigerators, stoves, washing machines and diswashers. But God doesn't think about these things as necessities. If they were, then he would have given them to us. Instead he gave us the things we truly need to live a wonderful and worthy life. "By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life." 2 Peter 1:3. So before you start going to the store to get that ultimate chopper, cutter, slicer, dicer to make your freezer-burnt dinner fattier and sweeter, think about what you really need in your life and thank God for his truly amazing power to provide.
