So within this past week, two HUGE things pertaining to Africa have happened;
1. My passport came in! (and extremely quick I might add!)
2. I booked my flight to South Africa!
Seeing as I've been on a plane only twice in my life (Amtrak was & is my favorite way to travel anywhere) finding a plane ticket was a little nerve racking. But alas! I (WE*) did it! The reason I booked a flight out so early was for many reasons, better deals, better flights and most importantly- applying for my visa.
I'm very close to finishing the papers and putting everything together, this itinerary has to be included in my application so I can prove that I already have the means to come back home and whatnot, this proof of purchase is just one of MANY things I have to include in the application! I would please ask that as I prepare to put everything together for my visa, that you all would pray for the application to go through and the Council will approve my visa on the first try! This is probably the one thing I am a little antsy about.
Thank you so much!
much love, Lauren
*WE- When I say WE did it, that means you, my sponsors as well! This trip is not possible without you whatsoever and you have no idea how absolutely grateful and excited I am to have such thoughtful and generous people in my life like you!
