SOLD!

An empty space on Brenin's desk shelf where some books USED to be.

Empty hangers where clothing USED to hang.


An empty bucket where toys USED to be stored.


Our washer and dryer hookup where our
washer and dryer USED to be.


Sensing a theme here?


Last weekend we had a garage sale to raise money for a pastor in Costa Rica who travels by foot or horse to extremely remote villages and has such a heart for the people there. When Dad was there early in the year with our friend Mitch (who used to live in Costa Rica and now organizes working groups to travel there), he was struck by the need he saw and also by the devotion of this pastor to these people. They went shopping for a motorcycle for him which would make his life SO much easier and time more effective and found one for just $1800! We came up with a couple of plans to raise the money, and the garage sale brought in a whopping $1000 towards our goal!!!!! It was beautiful to see the community get excited about helping others, as many people read our flyer and said "keep the change" or gave a cash donation for the cause. It is just so fun to see people caring about each other!
