Waiting has never been something I have enjoyed doing. The extra time that I will be spending in the states has been a hard thing for me to get used to. My want and need to get to Africa has been growing with each day. There is always a reason why things happen and so I am trying my hardest to take encouragement from that. There is a reason why God doesn't want me to go to until October. God tells us to be strong, take heart, and to wait on Him. I have to say that I was frustrated and upset, but when I remembered that, it gave me peace in my heart about waiting.
Isn't it true that the hardest things are always the best things? This whole journey has definitely been hard, but I know the end result is going to be a turning point in my life. Waiting has been hard, but there is a reason I am waiting. Thank you for your continued prayers. If you have some time, I would love to hear from each of you. Your encouragement and prayers are what gets me through the hard times, so don't give up!! I need you!!

New News
Family,
I have some news for you. I received an email from Pastor Alan last week letting me know that he would prefer that I come at the beginning of October. He has had a rough couple of months and is taking a trip to Ireland to take some time off. He also informed me that he just purchased the building for his new orphanage project! Once he gets some renovations done to the building and gets the staff trained, the orphanage will be ready to start taking babies at the beginning of January! So he needs to work some things out with the building before I get there as well. That is why he would rather me come in October. I have waited this long to go, I can wait another 3 or 4 weeks. What is great about having more time in the states is that I get to spend more time with my family on the east and west coasts. I have decided to fly to Africa from the east coast, so when I get to California at the end of August, I will spend an extra week or so there before I come back east to spend some more time with my family. I will then fly to Africa on October 6th. In fact, my ticket is most likely getting purchased as we speak.
For my monthly supporters, you have a few options that you can think and pray about. You can either start sending support at the end of August and that way I will have some extra money in case something happens in September that I will need it for or you can wait and not start support until the end of September. However, because I'm not leaving until October, I will be staying in Africa until the beginning of April. Whatever you decide, you will be happy to know that my finances are doing great. I have almost met my monthly goal!! Thank you so much for listening and responding to God's voice in your life. If you have any questions, feel free to email me or call me: ginaklug@gmail.com or 707-815-9610.
I have been having an awesome time in Pennsylvania. After this weekend, I will be in New Jersey. My time with my family has been great so far. I'm looking forward to spending more time with them.
With Love, Gina :)
