COAT interview! and planes and visas! oh my!

I have my official interview with COAT(chinese orphans assistance team) tonight!

I am both nervous, AND excited!

I will be interviewing over Skype with Margaret and Linda from COAT. They are located in Gympie, Queensland, Australia.

I DO love the Australian accent, so I am super stoked for this interview because of that! LOL.

I'm also excited because, other than raising the rest of the money I need to purchase my airplane tickets and visa, this is the last BIG step before I can legitimately say that I am actually going. 

to China.

you guys. CHINA!

so stoked!!

I do have a couple prayer requests:

1.that the COAT interview goes well and they officially accept my application to volunteer for them.
2.that the rest of the money I need to buy my plane tickets/visa(about $1,000) comes through! I need it SO soon!
3.I am going to have to get some vaccinations before I go to China, I'm not sure how much money that will cost, pray that I receive additional funding to cover that.
4. I am packing up everything I own before I leave. My lease at my current apartment is up in July, and since I won't be here, I need to pack up all my belongings before I leave. Pray I can get it all done quickly.

Here's a praise!

1. I found someone, my coworker Sue, who has agreed to store my car for me the ENTIRE time I am gone...and for FREE! that is a HUGE blessings! She will make sure it stays safe, and start it up regularly to keep it running!


Alright, well I'm gonna get going!  I'm sitting at my Starbucks, on my computer, just got done with my taxes, and filling out my visa application as much as I could. There's some sections left I don't know how to fill out so I'm waiting on some answers from someone about that.

My interview is at 7pm!

pray for me!

thanks everyone!!

blessings!
