I received this message from the missionaries in Belize the other day:

We have a top 10 list of reasons why you should get here soon. Ready?

10. Because your sister's wedding is over.

9. To encourage the current missionaries residing at the base.

8. So Sage and Avi can be friends.

7. To assist with general upkeep at the base.

6. To help build a new concrete shed for batteries.

5. To support discipleship in Gales Point.

4. To help current missionaries survive a team of 19 teenagers!!!

3. To help current missionaries survive one team leaving and and another team arriving THE SAME DAY!!!

2.. To assist with concrete foundation for Pastor Kenny's house.

And the number 1 reason you need to arrive soon is...

1. So Joel can repair the backhoe to repair the mission driveway!!


Can you help us get there??!?

Support update

We wanted to update on how the support raising was going. So far we have $500.00 a month - almost half way!  We are SO thankful for everyone who has committed to help us, and those who have sent one-time donations.  This process of asking for money is so humbling I can't even describe it.  

We also wanted to let you know it is now easier to donate - by using the 'Donate' button you see on the right of our blog! AND you can now set it up to withdraw monthly from your account if you wish.  Of course you can also send a check, we just thought this would be a lot easier. 

As far as preparing for our move we have been getting ready as much as we can - going to rummage sales and ordering things online. It's hard to know what to get and also hard to think about downsizing to 6 suitcases lol. But it's also really exciting thinking about being free.  If there is a need somewhere and we need to help we can just throw everything we own in suitcases and be there in no time!  Nothing holding us back, I just think it will be so great :)  We are still planning on having a rummage sale once we get closer to moving, and it will be by donation so definitely something to check out! We need to get rid of just about everything so it should be pretty big.  If there's anything of ours you'd like in particular or someone you know of that's in need of something please let us know.

If anyone has a church that would welcome us coming to speak please let us know, we'd love to come share about our ministry and what God is doing in our lives :)
