Prepare Me to be a Sanctuary

Mission Work Update:   I have raised enough money out of the amount I need to cover my plane ticket to and from over seas!!!  God is being SO unbelievably good to me!  None of this is me, it is all God.  I could do none of this without His will.  Everyone is being supportive, and praying for me, and I thank you all!   I have only one cost expense that I have to cover myself, and that is getting to training camp in Wisconsin.  My mom informed me today that my plane ticket has been bought!
