Fundraising.

So I have officially been fundraising since..... September. And it has been coming pretty slowly. Which is kind of sad. However, I know that God will provide all the money I need to go to Panama. :)

My main fundraiser that I have been doing so far this year is selling photo greeting cards I made. I took all the pictures myself (ok, Mom took a few ;]) and I had them printed... they actually came out better than I thought they would! :)

Here are a few of my most popular pictures:

Card #022.

Card #035

Card #036



Card #042




Card #010.




Card #016




Card #019




Card #040.
















Each of the cards are blank on the inside and cost $4 each. I have a Facebook page for them, and I am trying to get more pictures up. Check it out: https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Photos-for-Panama/272793342761709

Let me know what you think! :)

Panama, here we come! :)

Ever since I came back from my mission trip to Quito, Ecuador last summer, I'd been thinking about what God wanted me to do. The Never the Same trip for 2012 was going to Panama, and I began to pray about going. Long story short, I got accepted to travel to Panama near the end of August.

Last summer in Ecuador changed my life. (You can read about it here.) I am so excited to see what God has in store for me in Panama.

We'll be doing a bit of the same thing in Panama as what we did in Ecuador. The two week trip begins on July 2nd. We'll all fly to Miami for two days to meet up, learn the drama that we'll perform in Panama, and also do some language and cultural training. Then, we'll all fly together to Panama City.

Once in Panama, we'll minister to people through our drama in parks, schools, churches and neighborhoods. We'll also have the opportunity to do work projects for them.

I am so ready to see what God has planned for all of us going, and for the people of Panama as well. I hope you'll enjoy following along with me.
