I officially have all my funds, and even a little over! I’m currently at $3,404! Many thanks to Dr. & Mrs Shillito, Aunt Rita, Aunt Marian, Mr & Mrs Spielman, The Loftus Family, The Wagner Family, The Grissum Family, Lilly of the Valley Church, and everyone at Messiah Lutheran! I am in awe of God’s provision. By December, barely two months after signing up, I had all the money needed. Now any extra funds will go toward my tentative trip to Ukraine.
Today I went in to the Health Department to get information about immunizations, and somehow ended up getting two shots in each arm. I loathe needles and am an admitted coward when it comes to shots, but I’m now safe as far as Tetanus, HepA, HepB and Meningococcal are concerned! I still have to find out if I need a booster for Typhoid, Polio or MMR, and I have to find a place to get the Yellow Fever Vaccine. The other vaccines are just recommended, but I have to get the Yellow Fever vaccine to enter Ghana. Hopefully I can get it somewhere in Phoenix.
That’s about it for updates. Life has been busy with finals for school, a new sister, the holidays, a five day stay in the hospital, and preparing for a new semester. Only a few more months to go till Ghana!
