In transition....still.

Hey everyone!
I hope you're all doing well! I just wanted to give a brief update of what is going on in my life right now, and how the Costa Rica process is moving along. This summer has been kind of crazy and all over the place, but I'm happy to be able to have had this time to spend at home before I head out in this new phase of life. I feel the pull of my desire to be in Costa Rica, but I also know that I need to take advantage of this time I have now to spend it with friends and family, as well as preparing for all that lies ahead.
Starting with this week, I have a feeling that this next month or two are going to fly by. This week is the annual Students International banquet, on Saturday. Then, on Sunday, Krysta (Williams, who is going to Costa Rica with me) and I head up to Sacramento to catch a flight to Colorado to spend 3 weeks in training at a place called MTI (Mission Training International). At this point, its a little tough to think that we have to wait that much longer before going to Costa Rica, but I've only heard good things about MTI and I'm sure that there are things that God wants to teach me there. So, I'm excited to go there with an open heart, to see what God wants to do through this time of training. We'll get back from CO October 3rd and I leave for Costa Rica October 18th. That'll be a crazy couple of weeks, I'm sure!
As far as support raising goes, I want to thank all of you who have stepped out in faith and obedience to help make it possible for me to serve in Costa Rica. For the one-time sum that I have to raise ($10,000), I have about 75% of it raised, which is such a blessing! In the area of monthly support, I need to raise $2,000 a month and so far I only have about 30% of that. So, if you could please be in prayer for that! If you would like to be a part of supporting me, you can send any donations to:
Students International
P.O. Box 2733
Visalia, CA 93279-2733

*any checks should be made out to Students International and have my name written in the notes section. please also attach a paper indicating whether this is a one-time or monthly donation.

Well, thanks again for all your support- financial, spiritual and otherwise! I'll do my best to update this blog on a more regular basis from now on, so that you can stay informed =)

Con cariño,

Cailah Pritchard
