My, things are moving along rapidly! I'm down to about $200 a month that I still need. I spoke to the housing director at OMS this morning, and they have an apartment all set up and ready to go for me. I'm trying to figure out the logistics of moving and when all of that will take place. Meanwhile, I'm working quite a bit at Hallmark, and we just had our closing program for Kid's Time. We held a mini carnival for the kids, and they had a great time, though the adults were a slightly exhausted by the end of the evening. My parents are going on a trip starting Sunday, so I'll have the house to myself for a little while, which will be good practice for Greenwood. I just can't believe how quickly things are happening. A lot of the decisions I have to make are contingent upon things I don't know yet, like whether or not I need a new car. The one I have does okay on short trips, but anything longer than a couple hours makes it unhappy and uncooperative. Plus, I have to decide what to take when I move. I have about 400 books that will need a home. And I had no idea how much work it is to be an independent adult! I've also been working on some pre-training exercises for OMS. Oh, and my computer has been out of sorts lately. All of this to say...

God amply provides!

Please pray for my friend Jill. She's in a very difficult place right now.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! To be honest, I was asleep for most of it. Those sunrise services take a lot out of you, you know?

You should have all received your letters by now. Furthermore, if you go to a UB Church, your pastor/mission director also received one. Since then, a few things have changed. I'm still moving to Greenwood at the end of June, but the training will now encompass the entire month of July, so that should be an interesting experience. Several people have sent in donations, so the total needed at this point is below $4000. My church has been incredibly amazing and generous in this process, both individuals and as a whole. I can't thank them enough for their support these past few months.

I'll be posting more regularly as time goes on, so be sure to check back in. Also, if you'd like to be put on a particular missionary's update list, let me know.

Enjoy the sunshine!
