It's My Birthday!

I turned an age older than I was yesterday; not sure if I'm excited or not.  Just thought I would share.

World Vision...

Wow. Honestly, although the experience was unique, I definitely got more out of volunteering and spending time with the staff.  World Vision made a good choice of ambassadors.

Last night (Monday 2/11) was the last chance for Fresnans to go through the exhibit after which tear down started (around 8 p.m.).  It was going pretty well until 9:30 or so, when the majority of the volunteers took off. After a couple of phone calls, Target Neighborhood from The Well and members from Northwest showed up.  It ended up being one of their quickest tear-downs :-)

Jennifer, Chris, Dan and Jonathan from World Vision did a great job helping people (including myself) become more aware of the ongoing problem in Africa; and I wish them safe travels as the tour continues ...and stay in touch!

For good measure, here is the map to Northwest Church/Campus Bible Church where it is being held at.

Additional Information...

...for those of you that received a support letter:

The envelope:
I wanted to make it easy if you wanted to help support the cost of the trip (and I went a little overboard at Kinko's--I think I need to have more creative outlets)--thus the envelope. Don't feel compelled to put money in it--even just a letter back would be awesome.

The photo:
See the caption.  Since I will be taking photos in Honduras, I wanted to have a photo now :-)

First Post!

You may already know this, but I will be going on my first international medical missions trip!  I will be going with a small team from The Well Community Church (through MMI) to Colinas, in the Santa Barbara district of Honduras from July 12th-July 26th.
While there, we will provide medical care including dental work, assessments, medications, education, and the like.  I will be taking pictures throughout the trip to post here when we return.  Until then, I hope you will continue to check back here for updates.
