I'm getting a lot of positive feedback about my trip. I received an encouraging email from my friend Bobbi, who is currently living in South Africa, that has fueled my desire to go. I'm currently working on a letter to send out to everyone I know for possible partnership with me and looking for other ways to either get people to this site, or flat out raise the money. One idea I had, which Marcy didn't care for, was to have a t-shirt printed with the site listed on it, plus a little info to get people asking questions. I'm amazed at the conversations that start from me wearing one of my other mission shirts. I had a guy at the movie store start yelling titles to movies with Christian themes, which actually made me a little uncomfortable to begin with. When there are 20 people standing in line and Joe Movie is screaming at me from 10 feet behind me, makes me want drop my movies and head for the exit. If he had been right behind me, we could have had a conversation, but I'm not yelling things back and forth and disrupting everyone else and their peaceful line standing. I figured the shirt couldn't hurt, but I'm still looking into what it would cost to get one shirt done. I have a friend that owns a screen printing/embroidery company, so maybe it won't be to bad. All I know to do is pray, and try everything I can.
