“Leaving On a Jet Plane” (August 18th)

Every few days I would turn on my computer and go to one of the many sites a plane ticket can be purchased at. I put in my destination and the dates I wanted to leave and waited while a price was figured out. Time and time again I was disappointed to see prices like 1600, or even 3,000 for this one way ticket. ( I cant buy round trip as my return date is too far into the future so I figured that need into my month to month budget)

So the other day I checked in for a second time that day (mornings price was 15,800 and guess what came up $787. Praise the Lord!!! I was so thrilled. It will get me to one of the main cities in the nation….I will still need to get a second ticket to get to my town but that should only be a 17 hour bus ride or an hour long flight for 60-150 bucks.

Just so you know I will be taking the plane for I don’t want to mess with juggling my luggage (two suitcases, packed full of books, a carry on with my laptop, and my guitar as I take two city buses and a ferry ride just to reach the right bus station. All in a language, I don’t speak.

Keep praying all the needs come in!

$60-150 dollars for second leg of journey

1170 committed monthly support. I have 355 committed by word!!!!! though so far I am only seeing 145 coming in each month. So pray that God blesses those who are remembering to give, reminds those who may have forgotten, and speaks to those He has chosen to be a part of this ministry.

Once committed support comes in all the rest of the needs will fall into place $430 worth of books, computer programs and games, a few movies I want to take and give to the girls (and their family) for a detailed list see my last newsletter or email me)

$410-549 for the Complete Rosetta Stone Language course. I did level one a few years back when I first visited the land. It was great, I learned an incredible amount of vocabulary. Which means I actually understood the subject of a lot of conversations happening around me, but I didn’t know enough to converse back. Levels 2 and 3 should really build on that.

One more need, I need to find a temporary home for the next 6 weeks. Ideally a camper, or motor home, parked right here at Nicholson’s until I leave (the camper I’m staying in needs to be used July 1-5 and again in late July and again in Early August. If necessary I can camp out in the back of my truck, but that is not the most ideal option.
