The Bazaar

Today was the Bazaar and God was so good. There were a hand full of people who couldn't come but donated items. We had a couple of people help out like my Mom and Mishele with set up and helping people. The flow of customers was slow but steady. We shared hot chocolate and prayed with a few people. :) It was great to get the opportunity to share about this mission trip with others.

Overall, we feel we did good with this fund raiser. We were able to pay for our craft material expenses and still clear a profit of $262 towards mission work.

In the last 3 months that we have prepared for this, our time has been filled with lots of life lessons for us and the kids. I have been teaching Rylee crocheting, sewing and also baking. Noah is getting more and more ready with his guitar playing. Richard has been getting tables, moving furniture, setting up signs, getting the house ready and filling in for me when I was sewing. We have also been learning thru experience to "keep the faith" & "trust in the Lords timing & plan". There was many labors of love done by our family and many of you. So we thank you who have helped out in different ways.

As a side note, we sold something else on Ebay today and have recieved a few more donations so our total amount of money raised is $2218.84. Yay! Our 1st goal of $2500 by Nov 15th is almost met. :) Next comes the goal of the second half ($2000) during the Christmas season. :)

We are thanking God for all He is accomplishing in this.
