Hopeful update!
Today my sister Kezzi , my Pa and I recycled to raise money for rwanda
we raised $57.00!
Thank you Aunt Valerie ,Uncle George & Mrs. Brooke.
Then we came home got the loose change from my friends and put it through a coin machine and raised $70.00! So altogether we put in $127.00 in the bank!
and so far the grand total is $815.00!ALMOST 1/3 OF THE WAY THERE!
My friend Philip made me a button for my blog ,my Mom's blog and my bubbe's blog
to help with donations. He and his brothers are playing in the BC Winter Games and then off to the Olympics when they win! My bubbe is selling her book encouragement along the way to help raise money for my mission trip this month (http://www.mthoward.com/mybooks.htm)
My sister Kezzi and I are knitting Baby caps for the infants in Rwanda and baby booties too. If you would like to do this with us, please let me know. November is closer than it seems.
Mostly I need your prayers. This is a big dream and I need to be spiritual prepared.
thanks

Recycling for Rwanda
Do you know everytime you buy a drink in California you are charged %cents or 10 cents?
Most people throw their bottles away. We used to.
But now we are collecting the recycling. My brothers and sisters and I did this for our family trip. So there would be FUN money. We saved $180.
This got me thinking. Lots of people want to help, but sometimes extra money is hard to find.
So I am collecting recycling. All the money will go towards the Rwanda mission trip.
If you have recycling you want to get rid of, I can ask my mom or dad to pick it up.
Then you can help take care of the world G-d gave us AND help me get to Rwanda.
Thanks for all the bottles and soda cans!

The Path begins
For several years I have asked my parents if I could go to Africa.
On my Bat Mitzvah my great Aunt Christy gave me a card. It had not only money in it, but said the money was the start of my fund for a mission trip to Rwanda!
I was so excited I was speechless.
I met a missionary from Africa. He told me if my kidneys were still sick I couldn't go. So we started praying. My friend who is an Iranian pastor, who once had a kidney disease, began praying for my kidney's to be healed too.
The Dr's were talking about kidney biopsy. chemo treatments, and transplant lists. I was scared.
In December we went to the DR at UCDavis. They were so happy to tell me I didnt have to come back for 6 mons because I was doing so well! And I had permission for Africa and all the shots! (yikes)
So In September 2008, I get to go to Rwanda. I will work at an orphanage and get to stay at hotel Rwanda one night, and i get to meet Paul Rusesabagina. He is so amazing! I hope i can say his name by the time I meet him!
So please pray for me, my health, my parents -cuz my dad worries, and my grandparents- cuz I think Pa worries even more than Daddy. Pray for the people I am going to meet. Rwanda is a place with scars. Jesus can heal though. Pray for them to see Jesus in me.
