I thought I would show you what I look like. This is an older picture though. I just dyed my hair black and red this week and I cut it all choppy again. So, I'll have to upload a newer picture soon. :D

Okay, I'm just going to put this out there... I'M DESPERATE! I need to get in $863 by May 26th, or else I can't go! I have $1075 already in and thank you soooo much to those who donated! If I want to get that amount in on time it has to be mailed in very soon to arrive on time. I need more than that, just not in by May 26th, I know alot of people that could donate they just don't.

The Bible says in Proverbs 3:27-28

"27: Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act. 28: Do not say to your neighbor, "Come back later; I'll give tomorrow" when you now have it with you.

So, please donate something... I completely understand if you REALLY CAN'T, so please don't feel bad, just pray for me. But those of you who CAN please do so.

If you would like a E-cookbook then follow this link, http://www.paulafarris.com/annasmissionstrip to my website and if you donate any amount you'll get one.

I'm trusting in God completely on this one.

Thank you!

The trip to Botswana, Africa got canceled!  

I can still go on a trip, but I can't choose which one I want to go on. Where do you think I should go???

These are the places I was thinking about gong to: The Panama Jungle, Austrilia, South Africa, Costa Rica, or maybe Thailand. What do you think post a comment to tell me where you think I should go to, no matter who you are! 

Thanks!

I'm leaving in 182 days!!!  ( Including today ) Can you beleive it?!  It's coming so soon!  I wasn't scared, but then I realized I'm going to be gone for an entire month away from my home and my mom.  I already get homesick staying the night at my friends house for one night!  But I'm not worrying about that.  I'll be fine!

On our free day, we get to spend the night at Victoria Falls!

Victoria Falls is one of the 7 Wonders of the World. It was first discovered by the missionary David Livingstone. 

 I'm so excited!

I needed $24 for the Application Fee and I didn't have it.  So, I wrote a letter to everyone in my church asking for donations and I raised over $150!  It was amazing! 

That day was my birthday so after church for one of my birthday presents my Mommy and I went online and registered. 

It got me all excited because I got the money to register for the trip!

I will be doing some research about Botswana in the next few weeks, so stayed tuned for some interesting facts! =D

Well, I leave on July 7th and I will get back on August 2th.

I will be gone for almost an entire month. ( That is the longest I have ever been away from my home and family )

They say I will have a translator there, which is a really good thing because I have never heard of their language, Setswana. : )

I already payed the Application Fee so they should be sending me an acceptance package soon. In the package I will be receiving a T-shirt and fundraising ideas, etc. The info below is what it said on www.GlobalExpeditions.com about the trip.
