This last Saturday, June 27th, was our Kid’s Carnival fundraiser and it was a blast. We got to Jump Around at 8:00 to begin setup. Everyone pitched in and we still had 45 minutes left after we were all set up. I love these kinds of events where everyone works together to accomplish a goal, this is going to be an amazing team to work along side down in Guatemala. I was so proud of each of them, they all worked so hard. We had a lot of people come through and donate money. I think our total cam… Continue reading →

Hello everyone!
First off- I just want to thank everyone who has been praying for me and supporting me in this new season of my life. I appreciate you all and I’m completely blessed by you.
So, to give you an update on my progress… or should I say God’s progress. I went to my Guatemala meeting the other day and found out that I’m only $45 away from my complete goal! Halleluiah! I still have coffee to sell and we have a fundraiser I’m helping out with next Saturday (more info. to come… Continue reading →

Okay, so I’m still in shock from what just happened last night. My God is so good and I know I shouldn’t be so surprised when He does amazing things, but I love that he continues to amaze me with just how awesome he is. Ya know?
So, I was leaving Doxa last night when Chelsea (our youth pastor’s amazing admin. asst.) came running out to stop me. I rolled down the window and she gave me the most amazing news! The finance dept. of the church informed her earlier in the day that someone had an… Continue reading →

Okay, so here is where I’m at on the immunizations: I did find a fairly cheaper route through the Skagit Valley Health Dept. (Whatcom Health Dept. no longer does immunizations) but it’s still pretty spendy. I’ve talked with our healthcare provider (Molina- Basic Health) and they do cover Hepititus A&B when it’s recommended by a suggested doctor. Right now, the doctors I am assigned to are all booked untill August. In talking with the receptionist, they don’t have a waiting list in case of any… Continue reading →

Yesterday was the Guatemala Dance Team’s Car Wash Fundraiser and it was quite the success! We started washing our first car at about 10:45 and ended at 3:30 with the end total of $488! Not too shabby! The weather could have been better and we probably would have had more customers but we’ll take what we can get. We had a great time and I think it was well worth it! God blessed us! Here are a few pics from our day.
 
The “vehicle of the day” award has to go to this truck that pulled in… Continue reading →

Okay, I have to confess my moments of discouragement right now. I’m not doing so well on getting my immunizations done for the trip. Just some insight- I only have Basic Health through the state for my insurance and they do not cover any travel related immunizations. I also have not been to a general doctor since High School (yes, I know- crazy!) and the only one covered by my insurance (that accept new patients) is booked through the end of July… not helpful! Their are walk-in clinics that… Continue reading →

This Saturday (June 6th) our dance team going to Guatemala is holding a car wash to raise funds for our trip. We’ll be at the Jalopy Jucuzzi on Iowa Street from 11am to 4pm- please stop by, say hello and get your car washed. If you don’t have a car or it doesn’t need washed, come by anyway… although we may put you to work. 🙂
Hope to see you there! Continue reading →
