Well, I am quite amazed with what has happened in the last few weeks! God has provided so much through incredible people! When I landed in Portland less than 3 weeks ago I had no idea where I would live, I had no money for a vehicle, and I wasn't sure what my job situation would look like.
First, I have been looking for a place to stay and incredibly I ended up having multiple options! I was hoping that I would have a place, but never expected to have multiple choices. I am amazed by how willing people have been to help and open their homes to me!
Second, I have been trying to raise money for a car since my mazda broke down before I went to Hungary. Already, I have been able to raise well over half of the $2000 needed for a car! People have been very generous and encouraging!
Finally, I knew that it was likely that I would be able to get my old jobs back, but it was great to know that I actually had the jobs at church and as a valet. I am looking for a full-time youth position in the Portland area, something that I know will only happen with the help of God, so I'm going to work on being patient until he provides an opportunity.
On top of these things I have also received gift cards from my church in Klamath Falls to help me get on my feet with all of the small expenses and such that happen when moving across the world.
All this to say that I am incredible blessed and thankful for the people in my life! My family, my church, and my friends have all been so supportive and I look forward to seeing where God leads! A few weeks ago I knew nothing. Now? All of my big worries are gone!
