Quick China & school update

I figured it's about time for an update on China and my college courses. Not a whole lot to say about school, except I'm done with my courses for the summer. I really enjoyed them all but it will be nice to get a break. China details are really coming together, the main thing being I am done paying for the trip, 2 and a half months before it even happens. I paid close to half of the money needed myself, out of my own funds, but did not know where I was going to get the rest. My awesome pastor and church board members gave me the opportunity to speak in front on my church about my trip and afterwards they would take up an offering. I was absolutely terrified before going on stage, but once I was up there it really wasn't too scary and I got ALL my funds. Huge huge blessing. So now that that is off my mind, I can focus on preparing for the trip in others ways. I'm SO SO excited - only 67 days till I leave!
