so great news i called the consulate in L.A. and they said im going to get my visa on friday!!! finally the pieces of all my preperation are coming together! It is becoming more and more real to me that im going to be leaving soon. Thank you to everyone who is supporting me through out this whole trip I really appreciate it, i thought i wanted to do EVERYTHING on my own but i realized quickly that it was not going to happen that way. My last day of work at the Growing room is this friday and im really sad actually to be leaving all my kids and my friends that work there but hopefully i will be able to stay in contact and maybe do the whole pen pal thing with the kids in Africa and the kids here... Keep praying for Danny Chris tree and I, this is really unlike anything we have ever experienced and I will be the first to say that im scared. Not that i don't trust God will provide but that he will change my life completely and that is scary. I'm gonna try to get better at giving my blog address out but hopefully some are reading in. Love you all

Best wishes Lauren:

I know you have worked very hard for this trip (financially, physically, emotionally and spiritually). I am sure this will be a time in your life you will never forget. Please make sure you don't forget to take care of yourself. You can't be a help to others if you don't take care of your health needs for yourself first. My hope, thoughts and prayers will be with you daily. Take care and come home safely.

Love, Dad
