Summer done - more courses and non-profit paperwork!

Praise the Lord, another course finished!! I have a two week break before starting up my final one for the year. Then only 5 more courses to go in 2009 and then I graduate in 2010!

Fall is already here – weather is already in the 60’s and 40’s at night. I was able to have a lovely, two week, summer vacation in England in August. The first week, my sister, Cynthia, and my mother met me for some touring in Southern England in a rented car (Yup, I did it and we all survived!!) to Worthing, Winchester, Stonehenge, Bath and Oxford. The second week I attended a single ladies’ missionary retreat. Heavenly!! It felt like two vacations in one and I felt like a queen.

Now my next priority will be concentrating on setting up this non-profit. One source says it takes 6 months and only 16 million pieces of paper and another source said for them it took only 2 weeks and only 16 million pieces of paper! I have learned that I have to dedicate myself 100% in doing things like this or it will never get done. Please pray that we get it done closer to the 2 week estimate! I will keep you informed. At least the other paperwork is done – I have my audiometer (Thanks again Missoula Rotary) and my visa in hand! Setting up this non-profit and studying will be my main concentrations for now.

I have a surprise visit coming from my church in Wayne, PA. Stephanie Korb will be visiting me for 5 days in October. What a treat! Then plans are for a trip home over Christmas for 6 weeks or so. I will be able to visit my dad and see how he is doing in Spokane, WA. Hope to see some of you when I am home over that time (which will be here before we know it!).
