Well, no. Not yet. But, honestly, it couldn’t come soon
enough. I’m just getting so anxious; my mind has been in Africa
for far too long now. It’s been a month since I moved…only a week to go.

Only a week until trai
ning in Georgia,
but it’s still two weeks until I’m in Africa.
My fundraiser was incredible last weekend! God totally blew
me away. My mom cooked chicken marsala for about
50 people, my brother David played classical guitar as dinner music, we had
some Africa trivia, David and I taught
everyone a French African song, and some other fun stuff. To raise money, the
dinner was $10 per person. So I assumed I would make somewhere between
$500-$600. But my money was tripled!!! I couldn’t believe it. I got an email
that the official count was $1838! I don’t even know how that happened. People
have been so incredibly generous in their giving. After the dinner and with a
few other donations, I’m passed my goal! I raised more than I need, which is
such a blessing! I can’t believe I did it. The Lord has been so good to me.

I’m officially ready to go…nine days, only nine days…
Oh my gosh!!! God is so good, Leah!!! 🙂 That is so incredible that you raised more than what was needed!! I’m glad that fundraiser went well! 🙂 I am so excited for you!!
Praying for you all the time dear!!
God is good isn’t he! Leah I am so happy that you received more than you needed. Now you can take your mind off raising money and just enjoy every moment. I miss you, take care and I’ll be in touch. Love Ya, Danna
Hey Leah, that is awesome about your trip. I’m so excited for you and your new adventure to come!! Take in every moment and put it in your memory bank. Also, I’m still waiting for a picture of you riding a REAL elephant! =) One more thing, I’m not sure if you heard or not…but Olivia Elise was born on Aug. 26th at 11:19 p.m. Everything went great, and we are all healthy. I posted pics on myspace. She was 6 lb. 6 oz. and 19 in. long. Very little but so precious, I wish you could see her!! Talk to you soon. Love, Alicia
So I’m thinking you’ll be in Africa any day now… I’ll be praying for safe travel, good health, and easy settling in for you. Go, in the name of God, and spread his love. Awesome.
