Hello Everyone!
I have loved hearing from some of you friends and family who have said they will be following our blog. It means so much to us to have your support and your interest in our lives and this stage of our lives in particular. We have really gotten busy packing up our house now, and its making the move seem so much more real. Our plane tickets have now also been officially purchased so we are truly going! We leave the afternoon of April 18th from Charleston, and will arrive in Uganda around 10pm on the 19th.
We have had several people asking us how they can support us or how they can support PMI, which we want to say a HUGE THANK YOU for that!!! God has blessed us and PMI so much, and it is through generous hearts that make all of this possible. While we are in Uganda, I will be working as a RN and raising my own support through donations. If you would like to support me or PMI, you can donate either online or by mail. The website is http://www.palmettomedical.org/ . Click DONATE at the top of the page and its very easy to do. Or, you can mail in checks to Palmetto Medical Initiative P.O. Box 542 Charleston, SC 29402. If you want to support me, please make sure to add my name to the "For" section of the check or write it in the comment section if you are giving online. Again, THANK YOU thank you thank you!!! One of the best things about mission work I think is stepping out in faith by giving and watching how God provides.
Also, even more importantly, please just PRAY! Pray for the people who we will be serving, pray for PMI, and pray for Newman and I. I've heard this saying before from several people regarding missions and I cannot remember who I heard it from first but its goes something like: Those who can go, go...those who can give, give...but everyone must pray. Forgive me if I misquoted or if I don't give credit where credit is due for that, but I wanted to mention it because I think it is so true. (if you can cite that for me, let me know in the comment section below) So please, keep us in your prayers and if you can come please come and if you can give please give. God will bless you for it.
Thanks so much for everyone's support, and keep watching for a video in the next post hopefully!
