Yikes!! I went to my doctor to get a regular check up and to get Hep A booster and Hep B shots since I didn't have them. Well, I was given the first in the three set of Hep B. Since I got the Hep A shot when I went to Guatemala for the first time like forever ago, I thought I didn't need it again. What i didn't do, mainly b.c I can't stand needles, is not get the rest in the line of Hep A shots. So, the doctor asked me if I wanted to get a blood test to see if I needed the shots all over again, or to just get the Hep A's again. I got the blood test. I am hoping that it comes back that i am good to not need the Hep A's again. So, I got a shot and my blood taken today. I could hear the doctor telling the male nurse, Murse I liked to call him, that I was "scared of needles and to watch out b/c I might faint", when she was telling him what I needed. So I am praying that I won't need any Hep A shots, while in a month I need another Hep B to almost finish out the cycle.
Thanks for listening.

Okay, there's my Bugs Bunny band-aid. When speaking with the nurse about where exactly in Brazil I am going, I was only given the Typhoid shot. If I find out that it's other areas in Brazil, then I will go back to get the Yellow Fever one. I also have to get a Second Hep A and Hep B, which I somehow thought that I had, but I have not. So, please pray for me on Weds, when I have a regular doctor's appointment to get those.Sunday, April 5, 2009
The trip is going to be exactly two months from today.
Thank you to all who read this lovely blog. I hope that once I get back from Brazil to put all of the wonderful pictures that I will take. Stories will be written about the trip also.
Well, I had yet another Brazil team meeting this afternoon. I have found out that I only need $175 for my trip. thank you to all who have already donated and there is still time left for those who feel in their hearts to contribute. I am going to put my address at the end of this posting.
Tomorrow I will need prayer, for it is when dreading, I get my shots. Another team member went to the same place I am going to and said that she only needed one shot and it did not hurt. I will be listening to music and trying not to think about anything. I also found out that the shots will run me around $300, typhoid and yellow fever, which adds to what I need for the trip.
Our team will have one more practice of The Redeemer before performing it in front of a Youth Detention Center on May 16Th. I have been watching a DVD and practicing for my part as the "Party er". Anyone who knows me knows that it is a stretch for my performance.
So, two months from now I will be leaving for Brazil. It has not hit me until today that the trip is that close. Next meeting we are getting our packing lists, which Insect Spray will be first on it I believe. I am so excited to see how God will work through my anxiousness of flying on a plane and getting out in front of crowds to speak. I am just excited to see Brazil and what it has to offer.
I do have some prayer requests that you could lift up that are personal and from my group.
1. Some of my group members are still having a hard time bringing donations. If you could pray whatever your heart tells you but in the least please pray that those of us will not be anxious about needing money.
2. Some of you may not know that there has been budget cuts from my school district. What does that mean? It may mean that my job as a kindergarten para pro may go up in smoke. There is a good chance that the amount of para pros will be cut in half. Please pray for wisdom to who makes those decisions. Please also pray that the words that come out of my mouth and my thoughts towards others at this time would be Godly and fruitful.
Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. I will fill you all in about my shots and anything that comes up before the next meeting. I halfway wonder who reads this thing and if not for nothing, it will remind me of the time that I grew close to God.

Another Team Meeting
Hello to Everyone who reads this lovely blog.
I still have three months till i leave for Brazil, but I feel like it is going to approach really fast. We had a meeting on Saturday to go over/learn our parts for the Redeemer Skit. Now, if you haven't seen or do not know what I mean, check out my blog part below or above that shows you how to watch it on YouTube. I will be playing the part of "partier", which if you have seen the skit, I open beers and party in front of Man. The part is so much more than I can describe on this little sentences. Please check out the clip to really get a glimpse into what we are going to be doing in Brazil. Since I have been watching a DVD of the skit and did the Saturday learning, I still feel like I need some practice. So, please pray for me.
Praises go out for the money that I have already been given. I am not that far away from my goal!!!
The Brazil team had a meeting on Sunday and we were told the flight times and when to be at the airport. Since my notebook is downstairs, I will post the times and dates later. But I would like you to pray about is that it is going to be an eleven hour flight. It's overnight, but me have being in the air only three hours to Guatemala, it's different.
Everyone in the group was asked to give their testimony and it was my turn last Sunday. I shared what was on my heart and I pray that we can become closer as a group with knowing what everyone has shared.
Prayer Request:
1. For money to come in for me and my other team members
2. I am going to get my vaccines (yellow fever and typhoid) at the beginning of April, during my spring break. Please pray that for calmness.
3. That i will take the time to look over my part in the Redeemer Skit, but not only that, but to have time with the Lord each day to pour my heart out to him.
4. My sister did a half marathon two years ago and I promised myself that if she ever did it again, that I would be not on the sidelines but with her. I have been doing long jogs on Saturday mornings and have been trying to get to the gym alot during the week. The half marathon is at the end of April and I believe that this is the first time in my life that i am doing something for myself and no one else. Please lift up my training time and that I will continue to see how wonderful it's going to be to cross that finish line.
Thank you all who have been reading this and commenting. I love comments.

I only need $231
Hello Everyone!!
I had my latest Brazil Team meeting where we watched others from my church perform The Redeemer skit. I got so teary-eyed just watching it and knowing that I will be able to touch the lives of others in Brazil. We are supposed to think of which part we would like to play, which I would like to play any of the temptations. If you haven't seen The Redeemer before, you can check it out on YouTube. Here's the link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaQkJJ0tGZ8
I have a huge praise to tell everyone about. Because of the outpouring of donations, I now have raised $2169. Which means I only need $231 until I reach my goal!! Words can not express my gratitude to all of you have helped me with my Brazil trip!!!
Prayer Needs:
1. Immunizations: (I don't want to get the needed shots and am praying for my anxiety to go away about it.)
2. That the group will become closer, even more than we already have.
3. The people of Brazil that we are going to come into contact with.
4. Satan has already begun to try to influence and bring anxiety to out team. Please pray that we will stay strong and cling to the Lord during our preparation time.
