Hello Friends!
Great news: I have raised enough support to go to Uganda! Much praise to our Father above! And a hugh thank you to all whom have given donations! For a few lingering weeks I needed about $800--administration fee, vaccinations, and travel insurance. This past weekend, I headed back to my Alma Mater with a friend, for a short, but most wonderful, weekend visit. The friend (A) with whom I traveled, has gone to Uganda with the same organization (partially how my opportunity arose), and upon conversing with A, she graciously offered to pay the $200 administration fee! And informed me that travel insurance is more expensive than just having money on hand for any medical coverage I may encounter. Before the mother/father intuition / friend guardianship bears arms, there is a decent British run medical center close by, and is low cost. A shared that friends of her's had made visits to the medical center, and received proper treatment, at affordable rates for missionaries! Also, during my visit, 2 more of my friends graciously gave me support to cover my vaccinations! Therefore, I have enough support! I contacted a former doctor who has offered to administer my shots (for a cheap price, hence the 'low' cost) on the 18th, and after a 4 week waiting period, I am good to go. I will be speaking with my home church (whom have been kindly collecting donations--a big thanks to our treasurer!), to work out the details of purchasing airline tickets. I will be sure to keep in touch, and let you all know the departure dates as soon as possible. Please keep the people of Uganda, the fellow volunteers, and myself in your prayers. And, as always, feel free to e-mail me with any questions, comments, or concerns at AServantsHeartHebrews6_10@yahoo.com
