Nothing to say

I am working on another fundraising letter. I am planning to mail it on Friday. If everything goes well I will post it here in a few weeks. I don't want anyone to read something here before they get it in the mail. Getting a letter is so rare these days that I want people to be able to truly enjoy that. It is hard going, though. I am not sure what to say. I want to tell people about my work here - but I what do I tell them. Do I tell them the many different things I have done (Met with the Zimbabwean organization, Youth Empowerment and Transformation, attended a meeting at the United Nations, talked with a man from Rwanda about his experiences, spent much time learning about the cultures of my colleagues, talked about HIV/AIDS in context of our spirituality and what the Pope recently said, and prepared presentations on what the WSCF does.) I am doing all of this while I am also trying to learn the inner workings of this organization. What is the IRO? (It is the office where I work). What is the UNDP? (It is the United Nation's Development Program). Like all organizations there are important people to know. (A few days ago I accidentally asked a former General Secretary if she was the former assistant... oops). I am learning slowly. I am also concerned that I will not be able to stay until March of next year. God willing, I will be able to, but perhaps I will be heading back to Austin in only a few months. I need to start praying harder! Prayer is our way of changing our own hearts, by listening to God. I am still working on fundraising. I am still praying.

I suppose it's not that I don't have anything to say - I clearly have quite a lot to say - but I don't know what to say or how to say it.
