Support Update

EK and I were so excited last week when we found out we had reached our goal, actually exceeded our goal. As of last week we have raised 26,960! Words cannot describe how thankful we are for everyones support. We have been blown away by God's power and grace throughout this experience. We spoke with Brice and Amanda Wurdeman this weekend and they are working hard to get our apartment ready for us when we arrive in two weeks. We did find out that they have to furnish a lot of our apartment, such as a bed, refrigerator, etc.  Repairs need to be made as well with our air conditioner, doors, and plumbing.  All of these things were not included in our budget so we are thankful we are continuing to receive support so those things can be covered through our raised support rather than it being taken out of WISE's budget and away from the students. It was important for us to let our supporters know we have reached our goal, but if you feel lead to continue giving the money will go towards our apartment repairs and other necessities.  We were informed that the school needs a lot of repairs as well with plumbing in both of the boys and girls dorms so all support will be put to good use!  We are reminded daily how good our God is.  This experience has helped EK and I trust even more in the Lord and live by faith, we are looking forward to getting to St. Vincent to see what else God has planned for us! Love you all and THANK YOU again for all of the prayers and support!
