This is my last entry before I head to Mexico on Sunday!
Things have really been coming together for this trip (: I've received support from people all over the world and I'm pretty sure I'm almost at my goal. I wish I could be more specific, but I don't get my invoice until later :/ I'll write another update from Mexico, as I'm allowed to go without having all my funds, but I need to receive them sometime during my trip (if I don't get them now). I'm planning on doing an internship (unpaid) at the Ozarks base in Arkansas for leadership training as soon as my DTS is done and then hopefully staffing at the base in Montana after that. Unfortunately everything costs money, but if y'all are interested in being a monthly sponsor, please shoot me an e-mail to: katie_williams09@yahoo.com
On to the more fun things!
We have gotten so much snow here in the past few days that the start of our journey will be interesting! We depart Sunday morning around 4am for a 10 1/2 hour journey to Wichita, Kansas. From there we drive 13ish hours to Juarez on Monday.
We've been working on crafts to share with the kids. I learned how to make a balloon dog and a turtle! I hope the kids like them because I sure do. We have plans to make tie dye pillow cases with verses on them for the children's home kiddos and for the Creel hill tribe kids we want to make some goo involving mixing food colouring, shaving cream and cornstarch.
I have to pack soon, which might take me all evening. I have to fit two months worth of clothes & toiletries in one bag along with my sleeping bag and sleeping mat. Should be an interesting time!
I'm so incredibly excited to go to Mexico! So blessed to have this opportunity. I'll write another blog from Mexico if I can, if not, look out for the next one in February when I return.
