Just 3 more days now and I am boarding my first flight to Mexico City! I have never been there before so I am quite excited to experience one of the largest cities in the world! Then on Saturday I will continue on to Mazatlan where I will spend the next 3 months studying about all kinds of amazing things!
This past weekend was a busy fundraising weekend. On Friday I did a color and a perm (felt a little out of practice, but they both turned about beautiful :) On Saturday, we had another yard sale - not quite as profitable as the last one, but was happy to get rid of more stuff :) But Sunday was the most amazing day and experience! A dear friend of mine had a desire to shave her head - something that she had always wanted to do - and she decided to turn it into a fundraiser and sacrificial offering to support me. She turned it into a bidding war where people had to vote YES or NO with their money and whichever pot had the most in it, is what would happen. As you probably guessed - the yes pot won the day! So after our church service on Sunday everyone gathered around to watch the head shaving extravaganza! It was a pretty exciting expereince and she looks absolutely gorgeous! It was a powerful experience for me knowing that she would do that because she loves and supports me - it still brings tears to my eyes when I think about it.
Financially, this weekend paid off (no pun intended) as I now have enough to pay my tuition for the Lecture Phase of my DTS in full! THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who has given and made this journey possible!
There are also other fundrasing ideas in the works for the Outreach portion of my DTS, so I will keep you posted as to how that is going.
I cannot thank you all enough for everything you have done to help make this dream a reality! It has been such an amazing experience already and I haven't even left yet :)
