UPDATE

well guys. we are going to buy our tickets this week!!!! YYYYYAAAAYYYYYY i cant wait. this is surreal. Im almost at my goal mark. a few hundred dollars away. God is so faithful. However, i have just found out that a visa is needed. Apparently its not difficult to recieve a visa but it takes time, and a visa stopped my sister from going to rome long term, so im a little nervous. if you can please help in praying for a fast successful application process and complete peace through Him. Thank you everyone for everything.. HERE WE GO!!!!!!
