WOW that was Fast!

Just this weekend I was looking at how much money I needed thinking, how in the world am I going to pull this off. I expected a miracle, but dude this one was fast!!! I guess God likes to reward those who are willing to put some effort! The carwash I did this Sunday and Monday earned $370 total, and I needed aprox. $500 or so more. A few more checks came in and this morning I only needed $350 or so more. Ha! Last night I participated in a concert with a school band and my music teacher Lori Haggans. She was so sweet and asked me to play the piece I wrote as one of the pieces in the concert. Afterward she told everyone that I'm going to Mexico and needed several hundred more dollars. Wow! Three checks from people at that concert, and I am ready for the whole entire trip! And the last one was practically exactly what I had estimated I needed! God is just sooooooo good! Thank you everyone soooooo much for supporting me! This is going to be great! Wow, $900 in one week! Praise God!

Carwash!

The carwash went great! My friends and I washed cars for over 11 hours in two days!!! And we earned over $370!! Wooot that's almost half what I need, sort of! It was great and fun and stuff, and we were tired both Sunday evening and Monday evening. My friends Amorina, Melissa, and Dawn helped me, (and Dad helped on Sunday) and they are so awesome! Well it's back to brainstorming the next fundraiser... concert? another carwash? Bring it!

Oh, by the way, the first post was incorrect, I'm leaving the 13th of June and coming back the end of July, not June. Must have been all exited about the trip and the cool stuff I'm going to do that I forgot the dates hehe!

Woohoo! I'm going to Mexico!

I have already bought the ticket! I'm flying down the 13th of June and driving back up with Dwight and Kristi the last week of July. Unfortunately I've been so busy I have not yet done any fundraising haha! So I have three weeks to come up with about $700. I'm going to do a carwash this Sunday and I'll mail out a letter soon. Then I'll brainstorm to come up with some other ideas, and of course pray that God will help me pull off a miracle!

It's going to be great though! I really miss Mexico, the people, the land, my sister, and man those are the most beautiful sunsets on the face of the earth!!! Kristi and I have been planning what I'll be doing while I'm down there. Because of school I've been limited to going in the summer instead of spring when Dwight and Kristi are slammed with the huge tour going from city to city and printing like crazy. So I'll be working on more products for them to sell at crazy cheap prices as tools for the teachers in the next tour. I will also be helping out at a local VBS or two and a totally awesome kids camp at Rancho ProVision!

Campamento NAVE (Ninos Avanzando en sus Vidas Espirituales (Kids Advancing in their Spiritual Lives)) is the most awesome camp ever. The camp raises kids to be leaders, teachers, pastors, and worship leaders. We teach them how to preach, act in dramas, evangelise, play musical instruments (and we gave some of them guitars of their own, and are bringing down some more this year), and more importantly spend quality time with God reading their Bible and praying alone. Besides that they get to play around, swim, make crafts, jump on the biggest inflatable slide this side of the taco stand! Seriously, though, it's HUGE!!!! Last year we even played tug 'o war in the MUD! Man that was so fun! But it was so awesome seeing those kids impacted by our teaching and touched by God! At times there were tears everywhere as they commited another part of themselves to God and to following His word and reaching out to others. I'm so exited for this year! Last year was a huge hit and we are expecting many more kids to join in on the awesomeness this year!
