Weekends are never long enough- I've always said that my week is just a countdown to the weekend. I so look forward to them- even more since getting married. I love spending time with my husband and getting to do things together and not having to do everything alone. We'll celebrate our two year anniversary this Novemeber (even if we're not going to be together- thank you Coast Guard :))
However, that being said, I'll be heading to Uganda, Africa in October (and hopefully be back in time to see him off to boot camp). I've been on other mission trips (Amazon, Brazil, Haiti) but never a medical mission trip. Between college, grad school and the start of two different jobs since graduating the timing has just never worked out. I'm going with a group called Four Corners Ministries and will be doing several things while there, including helping with medical clinics, vision clinics, stove building and water purification installation. I'm so incredibly excited and can't wait to go and see what God's got up His sleeve for everyone while we're there (Ugandan and American alike).
I held a fundraiser bake sale yesterday at our church, First City Church, and had an amazing turnout and raised about $1,200! Yeah, wow, huh?! I was maybe hoping for about half of that, so that was definitely a God thing. I am so blessed to have such a supportive and giving church and am stoked to have raised that much! Unfortunately, that's not even half of what I need to raise, as the trip is about $4,000 for the whole thing, but it certainly did put a dent in it! This trip is very different from the ones I've been on in the past because I don't know any of the people I'm going with, have never met any of them and am raising all of my own money.
Anyways, that's all for now,
Katie :)
