Oh, The Places You'll Go!

I never thought the time would come to write my last blog post before I leave the country. This summer has been an incredible whirlwind adventure. The countless people I've talked to, the places I've been, the incredible individuals I've grown to love; it's a beautiful life. Thank you, God. Thank you, everyone.

We have raised just under $8,000 this summer for Project Rx and have been graced with a donor that is willing to match all donations and follow the project throughout the year, helping where help is needed. In the past week, we have raised $3,500 alone.

Wow...

The Highway Community was a tremendous source of support, in prayer and finances. I love you guys! I can't wait to see what comes of all of these new relationships!

(I'll post pictures of the adventures we had last weekend in California soon. I'm on rural New Mexico internet, which is slower than molasses in January... Stay tuned for the pics.)

I can't even begin to describe to you what a blessed experience fundraising...sorry, FRIEND-RAISING is. After being such a daunting task to begin with, I cannot tell you how lucky I am to have talked to all of the people I did, and asked for their blessing on the project.

Who knew the task at hand meant leaving no stone unturned to provide for better health on the other side of the world.

All of the help was right in my backyard, and everyone that I have talked to Project Rx will be in my thoughts, in my prayers, right there with me in Mozambique. I'm taking all of the gorgeous memories with me. :)

Well, it's autumn and I'm leaving for springtime in Mozambique. Yessss! If you're interested in beating the upcoming winter, I'll be basking in the sunshine and beach breeze. Even Bob Dylan knew what he was missing in Mozambique. ;)



I'll miss you all dearly and can't wait for you to come and visit!


I like to spend some time in Mozambique
The sunny sky is aqua blue
And all the couples dancing cheek to cheek.
It's very nice to stay a week or two.

There's lots of pretty girls in Mozambique
And plenty time for good romance
And everybody likes to stop and speak
To give the special one you seek a chance
Or maybe say hello with just a glance.

Lying next to her by the ocean
Reaching out and touching her hand,
Whispering your secret emotion
Magic in a magical land.

And when it's time for leaving Mozambique,
To say goodbye to sand and sea,
You turn around to take a final peek
And you see why it's so unique to be
Among the lovely people living free
Upon the beach of sunny Mozambique
