A Great Friend

So, Dec. 9 from 6:30- 8:30 there will be an Pampered Chef Party at My House. It's hosted by my great friend, Heidi Cumings and Myself. She is generously donating all of her earning from the party towards Kenya!
How Awesome!
I am so blessed to have such giving people in my life.

So, please stop by Dec. 9 and shop around. :-)
(If you need directions fb or call me.) 

 These are two cute photos of Heidz and I bowling. haha

So Amazed!

WOW! We went from 1,000 to 1,500 in less than a WEEK! Thank You SO much. Wow! I'm speechless.

If you'd like to contribute; there is time! I still need money for the volunteer fee, vacaniations, and water while in Kenya. You can send a check (addressed to me) to my home address or stop by for some Jewelry Shopping! My mom is selling retired Silpada Jewelry for a discount, and all the proceeds are going towards my trip. (Awesome Mom!)

Also, this Sunday Marcia and Leeland Houvingh brought me with them to an African Church Service. It was awesome. The worship was in Swahili and the sermon was in English. It was nice to experience some of the Kenyan culture here in the USA, and talk to these sweet Christians.

God Bless

Mini Update

We are up to $1,000 raised! Wow! Thank you so much for your support. I feel so blessed. I cannot wait to go, and your donations have made this possible.

Last week my mother and I went to Win-Some Women Retreat up in Mackinac Island. We saw some amazing speakers, and now I feel spiritually refreshed. Next year they have a women who ran the largest marketing firm in Canada come and speak. She left her job and started working with orphans in Kenya. Wow! I can't wait to see her... and maybe work for her? We'll see, but I am so positive this is the path God wants me to take. 

Also, on Sunday I spend 2 hours with a couple who lived in Kenya for years. They were missionaries, and they are trying to connect me with their family/ friends in Nairobi while I'm there. They also are taking me to some of the African churches in Grand Rapids soon. 

Thank you for your prayers. Please keep them coming. 



 

Finances are Growing!

Thanks for all your donations over the last two weeks since my letter. We went from $420 in the donation pot to $600. :D
