New information surfacing

Today I got a call from Rae, my coordinator from AIM. She was able to give me a bunch of new information, which was really exciting. Basically, here's what I know now:

* leave date definitely September 8, 2 days of orientation in New York, then getting to Namibia Sept. 12
* my return date is November 25, 2 days before Thanksgiving
* our team is staying the same; 5 women including me, 1 other teacher and 1 nurse included
* we will be in Rehoboth, Namibia, which is 90 miles south of the capital (Windhoek)
* we will be working with a Lutheran church there, in some type of school as well, and doing various random tasks as the opportunities present themselves
* probably will be living with elders' families or families within the church
* conditions should be pretty nice as far as Africa goes; running water, electricity, and fairly comfortable arrangements


I think that was pretty much it. I'm waiting on a few more checks to come in that I know are on their way, and that will put me right around what I need for my budget. God has been and continues to be incredibly faithful and constantly surprises me. He has done so many amazing things this year, with regards to this trip and just with my life. Please pray I would continue to seek after Him, to keep Him as my focus and my one desire.
