T Minus 10!

Well friends, it's been an amazing summer to say the least!  And it's almost over!  By the time I post this message, I will only have ten more days left in the United States!  That also means I get to be back in Guatemala in just eleven days!

I've still got a lot of preparations to make before I go.  I have barely even started packing!

This Friday is my last day at John Deere!  It's been a long summer but it's been really good working with the people in my department.  I'm definitely going to miss them!

Next week I am driving to Boston to visit my sister.  While I'm there I am going to be selling my car before I leave.  It's a difficult decision.  I love my car!  But I know I need to be in Guatemala!

Already I have been amazed at how God has provided financially through very generous friends.  Thanks to the lower cost of living in Guatemala, all of my needs can be met for only 7000 dollars a year.  So far I have about $5000 pledged and so I only need to raise about $2000 more!  If only five more people pledge to donate $35 a month, that will complete my fundraising for the next year!

It's awesome to see what God is doing with Hope Haven!  And amazing to think that He will be using me to help with his work there in Guatemala!  I attached some pictures from the last wheelchair distribution!  I get to be involved in the next one! :)

Keep praying!

Vaya con Dios!

I am so blessed to know that God is allowing me to help provide wheelchairs and a better life to these children! :)
