PRAY PRAY PRAY

Here is a list of things to be praying for as our week goes on during the trip!

• We leave on Thursday the 20th so please pray for travel safety as we fly for about 8-10 hours
• safety as we drive after a LOOONG flight and not to mention the WRONG side of the road.
• carnival prep. we will start preping for this within hours of getting to Ireland, because it is the next day.
• that lots of people from the community would attend :)
• that God would open the ears and hearts of the people that attend church Sunday that they would listen to what Charlton has to say. and that we would teach would be able to teach the kiddos :D
• Monday and Tuseday are tourism days. Pray for travel safety for where we may end up and that wouldnt run into a wall looking at geese LOL(it almost happened last year ;])
• Wednesday is our marrige/family conference and we pray that LOTS of people from the community come to it.
• Thursday is the 3D night with the local college students. We are watching the Adjustment Bureau, so we pray for a great thought provoking discussion!
• Friday is our 2nd annual Family Retreat for Galway City Baptist Church and we pray that everything goes well. The theme is "Loving One Another" and Paws and Tales for the kids. This is ALWAYS so much fun! We get a lot of time to build relationships with the people and I LOVE IT!!!
• And then safety as we travel back. Last year we were in a car wreak as we were driving to the airport. so PLEASE pray for safety

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PRAYING!!!!

Tonight we had a meeting about all the different details we need for the trip. I can't believe that its almost time! I cannot wait to get back over there. For those of you who don't know, I went on the same trip last year and had so much fun, met incredible people and built awesome relationships, that I have had the oppertunity to build over facebook this year. I am starting to pack and figure out what I need to buy and what I don't. Rain boots are a MUST!!! It rains 24/5 there lol. Well I'm headed to bed.

Garage Sale...SUCCESS!!!

Saturday was our Annual Mission Trip Fundraiser Garage Sale. We ask for donations, so we that we have a  HUGE sale. We get anything from toys and clothes to furniture and TVs.

Its a great way for people to be a part of the mission who can't give financially. The first of a few friends to stop by were my second family. The Walls, who are also going to Ireland. I nanny/live with them during the summer ;-). They have to precious boys:D.

Around lunch things got really slow and boring so we started taking pictures. This is what we got...

some^slackers lol JK everyone worked VERY hard! 

Later that after noon our friend Beth Sanders and her daughters Lolly, Kaymie and another little girl they were babysitting Aiden, came with Lays potato chips and Dr Pepper! Our friend Rita and her mom also stopped by :D

they are best friends lol

Over all it was a very successful garage sale. We raised $645!!!!!

AHHHHHH

So for the past two weeks we have been collecting stuff for my garage sale. This is one of the best ways to raise money. People who can't donate financially, can contribute items for the g-sale and the there is always the garage sale hunters lol. So the g-sale is tomorrow so please pray it goes well and I get a lot of money from the sale!

AND I have raised $1,635!!!!! So now I only need to raise $800!!!

So Ann and I are in charge of 3D night (dinner, DVD and discussion). Which means we have to come up with discussion questions for the Adjustment Bureau =)

Grace & Peace
