The BBQ fundraiser went great! I was blessed with receiving over $1,000 in donations! I am now at about 58% of my funding! God is so good! Please continue to pray! I know God will provide it!
If you would still like to give financially to this trip, the deadline is September 1! If you feel led to do so, thank you so much!
I am getting so excited for what God is doing and will do!
Thanks for the support!

HELP NEEDED!
Hello!
I am currently working on my homework for training in Elgin, IL. One of my homework assignments is to interview someone who is a new immigrant to the United States from Italy! I do not think I know anyone like that! If you do please let me know, so I may get in touch with them! Thanks!
In His Love.

UPDATE #3!
God is so awesome! I had my final meeting with my proctor from the University of Memphis who is overseeing my internship through international teams. Our meeting was quick in the sense that we got everything done with no problems! I am registered for everything that I need to be school-wise. Also, I thought I had to do additional work for the class, but it turns out not to be too bad! Also, a blessing!
Please continue to pray for my Visa application. My proctor has agreed to send a letter to the Italian embassy if need be to help me get into the country for a longer period of time! The letter will simply state that I am able to use this mission trip for school credit! My funding is also coming along more swiftly! I have less than a month to get the rest of my money either pledged or fully funded, so PLEASE be praying for that as well! I can't wait to see how He will provide!
In His Love,
Lindsey

UPDATE #2!
Ciao!
Just thought I would give an update of everything going on with preparation for my trip! God has been so good! I was getting a bit discouraged with the fact that funding was not happening too much. I was completely reliant on God to move but in the nature of my humanness it was frustrating. But God has definitely revealed His power and awesomeness this week and has definitely reminded me of His glory and how much He will provide! I am currently at 17.6% of all my funding. This includes one time gifts as well as pledges. If you feel led to give you may do so through iteams.org/give or can mail it in! You can do donations or pledges, either way!
Also, if you know of anyone who is need of "odd jobs" being done and is willing to aid in bringing Christ's love to the people and refugees of Italy. Please let me know or give them my information!
More great news, I was able to speak to/Skype with Rachel Uthmann today, the wife of the family I will be working with in Italy. We discussed funding as well as visa applications. I have spoken with the Italy consulate and originally believed I would have to make an additional trip to Detroit, MI to fill out my application. But thanks be the God that I only have to travel to Franklin, TN to apply and then send off the application. I have also received my homework to begin training for my internship, everything is just beginning to fall into place!
With my internship so obstacles are coming up, but nothing God can't take care of! I have spoken to my advisor at the University of Memphis who approved me to apply for the internship class. But she is saying that it may not work to be eligible for the University of Memphis.
Some prayer requests!
-God would just continue to teach and guide me in a spiritual aspect for my trip
-God would continue to provide funding in any way possible for my trip (I have learned not to put God in a box with this!)
-All of the visa information would "pan out" and it would be no trouble at all
-The new program being constructed in Italy, and the team that already is and will be over there
-Basically, "Lord do what you do!"
God is so good! I cannot wait to see not only what He does while I am there, but also in preparing me for this trip! He has been revealing His character and power and greatness, nothing like it!
In His Love,
Lindsey
