The Cutest Little Town in Germany awaits...

 If you just Google pictures of Mosbach, Germany you can see how cute it is. Here are some of my favorite pictures that I have found. I can't wait until the pictures I am posting are my own!

 

My apartment will be just a two minute walk from the center of town!  Pretty much everything I will be doing is in walking distance from where I will be living. I guess its a good thing I have been walking/running a lot lately!

I just found out earlier this week that my German language school starts on October 7th. Which is great because that was the day I had hoped to arrive in Germany! In order for me to be in Germany on the 7th, I would need to book my ticket TODAY! Which also means I need to be fully pledged/funded by today. If God doesn't perform a miracle (though that would be totally awesome, and completely welcomed), then my departure date will be pushed back by a week.

 The hardest part of the support raising process has been actually asking for money. It's absolutely necessary to ask for it, but I hate doing it. It's not that I am afraid of people saying no, I understand that not everyone is called to support every cause. I would love the money to just be in my account; to just be there one day, but I don't think God wants that for me. I believe that so many things can be used to test our Faith, and this is certainly one of those times. 

Before I started this whole process, Helena sent me a support raising book that I read back in July. It talked about how we shouldn't make a decision for people, by thinking/assuming "Ohh I won't send a letter to ______ they don't have a good job, or they wouldn't want to support my ministry".  My job is to ask (and pray). That's all, ask as many people as I can, and let them make the decision for themselves. I don't want to exclude anyone from the opportunity to join me in this journey so I am asking and trusting that God would call the right people at the right time to join me in this ministry.

 I am so excited for this opportunity and I can't wait to get on that plane! But I really cannot do it without your help! I have been praying that God would put together a support team to send me to Germany and I know that he has been calling people to give!

 

I am truly amazed because I already have more than 50% of my support pledged! So many people have been jumping on board and joining my support team it has been overwhelming! In order to book my ticket I still need another 24 people to join my team this week, by committing to give 50$ a month now through July 2014. Though obviously any amount helps! 

If you would like to give, you can go to https://my.omusa.org/OM-Missionary-Search and search for my name. If you want to pledge monthly, you will need my account number which is (1000330485). Thanks guys! 

P.S. If you give, could you please let me know when you do and the amount? Sometimes it takes a week for donations to show up, and since I am trying to book my ticket ASAP, it would be a great help if I know donations are on the way!
