As of right now I have $1,100 in for support. The reason for the very small increase between last week and this week is that I was able to by my plane ticket! It's official! I have my deposit, I have my plane ticket, so I will be leaving for Kona on September 29th at 8:00am!
It's starting to feel more and more real. I have my plane ticket in hand, I have the money for the deposit in the bank, there's nothing stopping me at this point from getting there. The biggest thing is trusting that the rest of the money will come in. I know it will, because I know it's what I'm supposed to be doing, but it can still be a little stressful when I think about it all.
One way I'm raising money is by having a fundraiser at Blue Rock BBQ! It's next Wednesday (the 17th) from 11am-9pm. They've agreed to donate 20% of the proceeds to my trip! If you'd like to come out and support me that would be awesome! Simply print out the flyer (see below) and bring it with you to the restaurant. I'm also going to be having a fundraiser at Pizza My Heart in a few weeks.

I cannot say thank you enough for all of the prayers and financial support I have received so far. It means a lot to me to know how many people care about me and want to help!
Not meaning to sound like a broken record, but as always if you want me to send you a letter you can hit me up on facebook or shoot me an email at joshmmorrison@yahoo.com

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)
