"[what]S'up, Wednesday?" is a place where I give weekly updates about how day to day life is going here in Wildwood, New Jersey. It will typically include something that has just happened, a "forecast of a schedule (always subject to change), and an update on my financial situation.. :)

Happenings: Lots of paperwork type things on my end have been my main focus as of late. Now that I'm officially in a part-time capacity with Cru, I have to maintain a more official paperwork trail as well! hahahah :)
Also, I should note, that this summer, I will not be going to Wildwood to interpret. By God's providence, there were no Deaf students interested/able to attend this summer. From all my recruiting back in January, it seems good contacts were made, but - for whatever reason - no one was able to commit to project. I see it as both a good and sad thing. After spending my summers in Wildwood, New Jersey for the past 4 years, it is weird not to be packing things up and heading out there again this year. However, I see this "pause-year" as a beneficial time to regroup and make plans toward something more sustainable for the coming years.
<< Baby coming in July also is a good reason to "pause" and stay home ;) >>
In future posts I'll outline some of the things that I'll be working on this summer while I'm not coordinating/interpreting at Summer Project :)

Schedule: May 13th thru May 18th I'll be in Orlando, Florida to attend a "New Staff training" that Cru provides to all their new hires. I'll be learning how to use their financial system as well as the best way to connect donors to my ministry and the interpreter ministry. By the Grace of God, I've actually had a pretty good week when it comes to "pregnant me". I'm hoping that this trend continues as I make my way down to Florida and back :)
Finances: The account for my personal support will be up and running soon. I'll send out an update once the site is live :)
We are also in the process of switching over the previous account that I used for the past years. So if you want to make a donation now, you can make it to the Wildwood ASL Interpreter Fund. This fund will be under my name soon, as I'll be responsible for those transactions: https://give.cru.org/2870830
I appreciate your generosity.
Soli Deo Gloria
:D
