Accepted

As of 10:08am this morning I am officially with World Venture!!!! I am really excited! I cried after they said that I was accepted and then I called my dad who thought that I hadn't been due to the fact that I was crying. But no, I was so overcome by joy and some sort of chemical imbalance ( I am sure) that the tears just came.

So now on to actually finding out what I have gotten myself into. WV should be sending me information within the next couple of days and giving me access to even more information online. So I can hardly wait to know all the new stuff and I will post it as soon as I know anything. Because I am sure everyone is waiting to hear their dating policy! Ha, just kidding.
In our wonderful Savior and friend,

New Year

Well I have been poor on keeping this thing updated so here is all the new information from the last month or so.

My application was accepted by World Venture and my final hoop (a phone interview) will be taking place on Wednesday morning at 9am. The 14th I guess. And I have a meeting with a World Venture coach, I have no idea what that means... sometime on Monday the 12th. After that I can officially start begging. No, no I am excited to watch as God provides in crazy ways and brings people I would never have expected to come and partner with me in this adventure for Jesus!

I actually already have $350 promised by my two home churches and I haven't even started yet. So I know God will bring it all in in due time.

Tyler Walsh a friend from Camp Tadmor and I sort of had a meeting to discuss my news letter which will actually be a viewletter. I think I just made that up. Anyway it will be a video news letter, which I am really excited about. So right now I am waiting on a green light from World Venture as well as all the details they will give me after I am in and some pictures from people who have been to Guinea. Pictures from Nepal just wont quite do it, I have a feeling.

Over the Christmas break, actually just days before Christmas the president of 24 or so odd years in Guinea died. The Military took over and it seems so far to have been a peaceful transition. Please pray that it will stay calm and that the gospel will not be hindered because of this.

Next on the list of things to do include:
finding an internship (please pray for this one)
going to Colorado for training
graduating from PSU
taking the Community Health Evangelism course in June (in Portland)

May Christ bless you as you serve Him and remember to live for Him in all you do.
Blessings,
Bethany
