Flea Market Fundraiser Success!

Our big flea market fundraiser was a huge success!  I don't have the final number yet, but altogether, we made over $4,000.  Thank you to everyone who donated and stopped by, and a HUGE thank you to the missions trip team for working so hard to put this together.  I love you guys!

So, few things happened today that I wasn't expecting.  First, I got a slight tan, and if you know me, you understand what a big deal that is to my pitifully pale self.  Second, I was in an easter bunny suit for a few hours. Even though it was excruciatingly hot, I had fun.  It was such a blessing to see those little children's faces when I gave them candy, and I got a ton of hugs.  I definitely should've taken a picture, but I didn't think of it.  Luckily, I will be back in the suit (while in the air conditioning!) for our next big fundraiser: Gateway Church's Chick-Fil-A Spirit Night!  I'm especially excited about this fundraiser.  Here's how it works.  On Monday, April 18th (that's the Monday after next), you all come to eat dinner at Chick-Fil-A.  When you order, you say that you're at Chick-Fil-A for the Gateway Church spirit night.  Then you eat, spend time with your friends and/or children, and take pictures with the Easter Bunny (mua).  20% of all profits that night will go towards our missions trip.  It's that easy!  So please save the date, this is a great way to support our trip while eating yummy food.  If you're a parent, your kids will love it, too:)

Also, I have a few prayer requests.  Mrs. Rhonda is a wonderful woman who is going on this missions trip, and her mother is in the hospital right now.  For a while, things were not looking good, but recently, her mom has been doing a little better.  Prayer for her continued healing would be great.  The next request is for my very close friend and her family.  They are some of the most generous and loving people I know, and they are going through a rough time at the moment.  Please pray for God's perfect will to be done in their lives.

Thank you to everyone who is supporting me in this journey.  God bless!
