First of all I would like to thank everyone with their continued support throughout my fundraising journey! It's been a month since I have updated my blog, and in that time I have received almost $2,000 toward my goal. It has been such a blessing to see such great support from all of my family and friends, especially all of the prayers from everyone. I have felt so lifted up by the Spirit with this journey. Even though I have some bad days where I totally feel down and overwhelmed, I know Jesus is right there with me for every step I take.
The last few weeks have been super awesome! We are planning a get together for all of the 2014-15 interns to get to know each other a little better before we start working together, and living together! I have also met our student pastor for the West Campus, Ben and he is already getting me plugged into the summer events to get to know the program, its values and everyone who makes it work!
A few weeks ago I was able to witness two of my friends handing their life over to Jesus and being baptized at Flatirons! I also had the honor of dunking Austin and being a part of his baptism. I love seeing Jesus in the people who are the closest to me and seeing how handing your life over to God and literally letting Jesus take the reins changes your heart.
The annual food drive was this weekend and I was able to volunteer my time to tape boxes, meet the volunteers as well as some middle school students and the high school students who are going on the trip to Jamaica next month! I am super pumped to be a part of this program and to see how God works with the students in the mountains and the western metro area of Denver. This has been my community my whole life and I know how many kids and students are in need of a good community and how imperative a working youth group is to developing a relationship with Jesus.
As I continue my fundraising journey, my friend Cindy has helped me set up a fundraiser through Tupperware. I will get at least 40% of the total sales from the fundraiser that will go toward my internship. Tupperware has a separate catalog for fundraising with a lot of their top selling items, and I will also have the full catalog available upon request. With that I will only get 25% of the profits but there are a lot more products to chose from. And ALL of Tupperware's products have a LIFETIME WARRANTY!!! Even though we are young, that is still something to think about! Spending good money on great products that will LAST is so much better than buying stuff at the dollar store that will last you like 6 months if you're lucky.
This party is online only and is set to close on June 15, 2014! So get on it!!! You can order through this link:

I also will be having a BBQ in July to support my internship. My mom is donating burgers and hot dogs and there will be a pool, basketball court, and a lake across the street for fishing so it will be a good time!!! Date is TBA :)
Happy Monday everyone!! I hope you have a great week!!!!
