Okay so I have heard back from Orlando! He told me that they think they have found me housing! We are praying for confirmation (please join us in this prayer!).
Also... I had my first Spanish lesson! I'm really excited about learning Spanish. My friend Diana is teaching me, She's awesome and a fantastic teacher. I want to have basic conversational Spanish when I get there so that I am able to communicate with everyone to some extent.
I also will begin raising support soon, both in prayer and financially. I have a rough draft of a budget. All of this is very exciting. It's still surreal that this time next year I will be returning after being in a foreign country for 8 months.
God is good. It's fun watching him answer my prayers and it's very encouraging having these things come together! Thanks to you all for your prayers and support as I begin this crazy adventure!

This is really happening! :-D
First of all, I have realized how silly it is for me to be worrying. 5 months is plenty of time for God to find me somewhere to live... I'm ridiculous for worrying!
My excitement has increased ten fold during the past couple of weeks. Kevin Higgins the director of Global Teams (the organization Orlando works with) came to visit (he's an old friend of the family, my mom and dad used to work for him and they have been friends for a LONG time). He told me that he had just visited Orlando and they were really excited to have me come! This was encouraging to hear because I didn't know what their thoughts were since it's hard to hear tone through emails.
After talking to Orlando again he told me that he wants me to go through my local church and Global Teams: America. I have contacted Kevin as well as a woman, Pat, who works there. She sent me the application and things to read. I read all of it and the application is about to be in the mail! Please pray that all goes according to God's wonderful plan and continue to pray for housing!
I'm SUPER excited! :)
