Today Dean and I finished writing our letter asking for extra funds and coming up with our budget for the trip. We have been trying to figure out this part for a LONG time now. We are asking for $340 in hopes that that will be enough. Right now we have some funds from the Singapore church which covers our food and travel expenses. Also we have money from the missionary Shelly which will cover some of our other expenses such as youth outreach and various things like fixing up the bicycles and stuff. Hopefully we will get more than we are asking for and the elders will give us some extra money so that we won't run out. We are planning on giving the letter to one of the elders in the morning and hopefully they will read it very very soon to the congregation. We also took our photos for our visas today. Dean tried to call the Chinese Consulate and ask some questions about the visas, but we didn't get much help from the woman that answered the phone. I guess that's ok though since they are closed till monday anyway. So we still need our visas, our tickets, and some money, but those things seem to all be working themselves out.
