wow, there is no doubt about it that god really wants me to go on this missions trip. Already, I am only 800 dollars short of reaching the goal of 2,800 which is due sometime in march. That is absolutely incredible. I thank all of you for your support. I can't even express how thankful i am for all the support i have been given financially, but more importantly the support i have been given spiritually through prayer. I also thank you all for your words of encouragement (I'm keeping all the little notes that people have sent me for a scrapbook i hope to do after my trip.) Please keep praying that the rest will come in. Listed below are some prayer requests that the Swaziland Missions trip team have come up with.

- that finances will come in for the whole team
- that god will prepare our hearts to do his work
- that god will prepare the hearts of the Swazi people so that they will listen and receive gods word
- that the trip emotionally and physically won't be too hard on the team
- that we will be able to bond relationships within the team and the Swazi people.
- that flights and travel all go well
- that this trip will not only effect the lives of the Swazi people but that also it will  change our views and our ways of life when we come back home
- for our team to take our experience in Africa and use it to reach the people who are in our very own community
- that every one will be safe and healthy
- that god's will be done
