Piles of Paperwork

Who ever thought one could be excited about mounds and mounds of paperwork, but in some ways I actually am. You see this week I am working on compiling letters to mail out to just about anyone and everyone I know. So as the piles of paperwork grow I'm excited because I know it's one more letter going out to someone who will hopefully become as excited about this mission as I am. It's not exactly a quick process though. So far I've compiled 50 envelopes. That includes an information brochure, a letter, (which in no subtle way also asks for financial support) a donation/prayer support form and a return envelope. If I wasn't a patient person and in desperate need of money I'd have probably quite after writing my return address on about the 10th envelope. Nothing like a little writer's cramp to humble a person!

That's not the only paperwork though. I am also going through the process of filling out all the health forms, releases etc... you know all those things that basically say we're not responsible if lightning strikes you etc. This Friday I am going to Mayo's Travel Clinic. I think this will probably involve numerous shots, blood draws and other very enjoyable tests. I'll just be glad to get one more step completed.

But I should get back to stuffing envelopes so I can get letters mailed out asap.

I hope anyone reading this has a wonderful day!
