I KNOW THIS LOOKS LONG BUT PLEASE READ

Hi everybody!
Sorry if you were looking for some humor, this isn't an emabrassing story. It's time to get a little serious, but a good kinda serious. Promise!

As a college student I have no money, I have negative dollars actually, but I have always wanted to go on a missions trip. I was planning a two week trip for this summer but after a series of date and schedule changes things didn't work out. Then a good friend of mine told me about Mercy Link and the Mini-Med School she is doing this summer. I went to their website and knew this was the thing for me. You know when you just know, it was that kinda a feeling. I was super excited about it, but it was a 7 week long course.

How would I find the time to earn money to go on this trip, and for my next year of college?

I got two full time jobs and have been working my butt off the last three weeks, we're talking 80 to 90 hour weeks, but finaces still worried me since I have a student loan. Despite this, I was gonna go on this trip, I knew this was the one.
My dad mentioned to a friend of his, Randy Vanderveen, that I was going on this trip. Then him and his wife had me over for supper, along with Darren and Christine Andres. They prayed for me, which was the hugest blessing ever, and they also supported me financially. They were both amazing answers to prayer. So Randy, Darren, if you guys are reading this, thank you so much. Whenever I think about your kindness I start to cry. And for anybody else reading this please pray for them. Darren as he works with the youth in his church and is working on getting his masters and his wife Christine. For Randy and his wife Cheryl as they plan a missions trip for the fall, as well as their daughters, Malory who is getting married and Amy who is just graduating from high school.
