I can't believe it has mean well over a month since I've written a post.
Our team yard sale on Sat. April 20th was a great experience to bond and huddle together (under covered canopies) on our camping chairs, in our blankets and down jackets, to sell our "goods". It was forecasted to rain that day but thankfully the rain held out until after the yard sale. This was a good team building exercise for both the adults and the kids. Prior to the actual day, the kids along with their parents, went through their toys and books and belongings to donate to the yard sale. We also had a "craft night" where different types of cards & pretty origami gift boxes were made to sell. The kids also helped by making baked goods to sell. Though, not alot of money was raised, we will use the proceeds to buy art supplies for "creating your own books" project.
Our team's plane tickets were purchased last Friday May 10th. We have been preparing for this trip since September and it is now zooming towards us and the departure date will be here before we know it. Unfortunately, one of the original 4 families will be unable to join this trip because of the lack of funding.
Your continued prayer would be appreciated:
1)The end of the school year is a bit crazed, please pray for stamina and patience for the kids and the parents.
2)The team's health (before, during, after the trip).
3)Many of the details of organizing and packing and traveling will go smoothly.
4)Our team will have a red eye flight to Philadelphia then a connecting flight to DR. Pray for patience & stamina as we travel tired with exhausted children.
Thank you for journeying with us as a family and team, through your financial gifts and prayers.
Erica
