Welcome!

Hello everyone!  The purpose of this blog is to inform all who are interested in my upcoming missions trip to Uruguay.  I will be posting fundraising information and random things that God shares with me on this blog regularly, and I hope to post while I am in Uruguay, though I don't know if that's possible.  Pics and testimonies will definitely be posted when I return home.

So, Uruguay!  This will be my second missions trip, and my first with my church, Gateway (www.ourgatewaychurch.com).  We will be leaving on June 8th and returning on June 15th.  Where's Uruguay, you ask?  (I didn't know when I signed up for the trip!)  Uruguay is in South America, above Argentina on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.

Now on to the fun part for all of us.. finances!  The total cost for this trip is $1800.  This is a lot of money for me, but I know God will provide.  There's currently two easy ways to get involved if you feel God is asking you to help me financially.  The first is to simply donate whatever you can towards my cause.  Checks can be made out to Gateway Church for tax deduction, and can be sent to Gateway Church, 1288 Lewisburg Pike, Franklin, TN 37064.  Please leave the memo section of the check blank, and include a sticky note with my name in the envelope.  If you are unable to donate money and you live in the Franklin, Spring Hill, or Thompson Station area, you can still help me fundraise!  The Gateway missions team is having a huge yard sale at Perry's Home Decor in Spring Hill, TN on April 9th.  If you have anything you would like to donate (furniture is especially needed), there will be drop off stations in Franklin and Spring Hill a few days before the sale.  Also, don't forget to come shop!  More details to come.

 I think that about sums it up for now.  Thank you to all who are supporting me financially or in prayer.  I couldn't be doing this without you.  God bless.
