Again so sorry that I haven't been able to get a real post up in awhile but I think I have finally fixed that problem! I signed up for google mobile blogging so hopefully I can post more when I'm actually on location. During the actually trip I don't think we can actually use our phones (we couldn't last year sadly) but I will definitely do an in depth post after the trip. Speaking of, the trip is coming closer every day! It's so exiting, I can't wait!
Anyway, this coming Saturday is yet another one of those Student Ministries fundraiser, but this out of all of them is my favorite. The Car Wash! You don't have to donate anything if you want to but you can definitely come and get your car washed. Just by coming to the church (ACAC) you will be helping us out allot. You see every student gets a few friends and family members to pledge a certain number of cents per car that we will wash on Saturday so just by coming you can help fund the trips.
One of the reasons that the Car Wash is my favorite of all of the fundraisers that we did last year is because it is so fun! We build fellowships with our fellow short term missionaries, get wet, get our first taste of what the trip will be like, get wet, wash cars, raise funds, and did I mention get wet? Yes by the end of the day we are soaked from head to toe! That's fun for some people but it is heaven for others! Ha ha, if you we wondering yes we actually do get allot of cars washed in the midst of all that getting wet and having fun we are doing. :) Actually we washed about 350 cars last year, that's a little bit of information to keep in mind if your planning on pledging.
So to close this post, I am starting to really feel Milwaukee coming closer. God's really been preparing my heart for service. Pastor Rock's sermon on service and freedom a few weeks ago (Yay for ACAC Pod casts!) and then it just seems like service and missions have been reoccurring themes in my bible readings. I've been reading up on some old issues of Youth Walk (an amazing monthly devotional that Ms. Kim gave me) about missions too. I am really getting exited for this and more than ever I feel God with me on my way to this missions trip.
After Note: OOPS I almost forgot to include the times of the carwash! The email from Jane says that its on Saturday June 6th and its from 9:30am - 2:00pm. Wow thats going to be a long day :)
