speedy decision

this post is a follow-up to my 7/17 post, "you rock Lizzy!"

so on 7/17 (the day I wrote the "you rock Lizzy!" post) I e-mailed the lady like Lizzy told me to. After two days of me being anxious and freaking out, I got a response saying she was copying the team leader for the mission onto the e-mail. I e-mailed Connie (the team leader) and she got in touch with me on 7/22! Since then (and yes I realize that was only three days ago), Connie and I have been exchanging e-mails. Basically, once I give the church the money for my plane ticket (we use a travel agent) then I'M OFFICIALLY GOING TO HAITI!

in summation:

7/17 - Lizzy texts me about the potential opportunity (see "you rock Lizzy!" post)

7/17 - I e-mail the lady Lizzy told me about

7/19 - I apply for my passport

7/22 - Connie and I start talking

that's right: it took FIVE DAYS for me to figure out I'm going to Haiti in 84 DAYS!!!!!!!!!! LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN!

you rock Lizzy!

My good friend Lizzy totally just made my day. she shoots me a text saying that she talked to a lady at church about me wanting to go to Haiti. The lady, Denise, said I could go to Haiti in October with OLMC (my church in Indiana), continue praying about it, and then OLMC could send me down to Haiti for six months to work with Michelle, a chick a few years older than me who's living and working down there for a  year! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH you go Lizzy, Denise, OLMC, and Michelle! God is the best  <3
