March 1

How oh how did March get here so quickly? I'm still fundraising and have since obtained passport. Soles 4 Soles (S4S) will be obtaining the visas necessary for travel. This is a huge help. I've gotten the application for visa to Tanzania completed. Have package ready to mail to S4S and regarding trip. Need $1134.00 by March 8th as far as fundraising. Must remember this date. This is a third of the cost of the trip.

I've shared with most everyone I come in contact with that I'll be doing this. Now, the hard part.... having faith. I keep telling myself that God can move a mountain but I'd better bring a shovel. Well... here I am at the bottom of the mountain... shovel in hand. (laugh)

Found out last month that we will be staying in the United Arab Emerites (UAE) for a 24 hour lay-over for the plane to refuel. We will have a hotel room there as well. I don't know anything about UAE other than they have a lot of gold and oil. I've been told they have the tallest skyscrapers in the world. I'm truly hoping I have a roommate that I can attach myself to their back pocket. Scary and fun all in the same breath.

I was blessed to get one more day in regards to the school calendar. Ours son's 5th grade graduation ceremony is now on June 17th. I come back on June 18th. The school had to push the celebration back one day because of a snow day here. So I'm also including just one more snow day in my prayers so I can attend. If not, my son and I have talked and he understands that this is not high school or college and how very proud I am of him.

Ok.. just wanted to update everyone. I'll try to do more to update or make my blog page a little more exciting, but time is the issue.

Until next time... use your time wisely
Rachel
