Thursday I get my Hepatitis A & B shots and my Tetanus shot. It's a good thing I'm not scared of needles.
I have been able to Skype with Karissa at least once a day. That has been a grand blessing. It's weird to have her 16 hours ahead of us. I have Sydney time in my watch and kinda have a general idea of her schedule. So I'll look down at my watch at like 9pm and know that she is having lunch right now.... tomorrow. While I am observing my Tuesday, she is in the midst of her Wednesday. No wonder I can't keep track of what day things happen to me. Gosh.
I went to Good Shepherd (our old church. Which I can't but help to consider my home church) on Sunday. I was able to say goodbye to many old friends. It was good to see everybody again. I also talked to Pastor Pete and he said that Good Shepherd is giving me $1,000. So that's amazing. God just keeps bringing in the support. I'm not going to be surprised if I'm able to go to Jamaica fully funded.
At this point in time I only need about $1,500 to be raised. I'm trying to get fundraiser cards from Little Caesars but I have yet to get a hold of them. So I'm hoping I can reach them tomorrow. We haven't been able to get much traction with the Pizza Hut coupons as of yet. We have been trying to contact stores (like Safeway and King Soopers) but haven't been able to gain permission to sell the coupons at their stores yet. So if you can pray for that, I would appreciate that.
Honestly, at this point, prayer is what I am asking for the most. I would be delighted if you would pray that my preparations finish well. Be praying that God continues to prepare me for all that He has in store for me. Also, please pray for my favor with the Jamaican government. There is a possibility that they don't allow me to be in Jamaica for a full 90 days (which is what I'll need). And I may have to pay $120 for an extension of stay. So if you can pray for favor for me in that specific situation, that would mean a lot to me.
I'm so excited for all God has been doing--with providing almost all the funds now--to what He will be doing in my life throughout the course of this DTS. Thank you for your support. It means so much to me.
By the way, this is Charlie Martin II
Chick-fil-A gave him to me so that I could take pics with him to post to the Chick-fil-A Facebook page. You will be seeing more of him in the near future. I'm thinking he will enjoy Jamaica almost as much as me.
In Christ,
Timothy David
