Philippines


It is now officially less than 2 months until our Philippines Mission Trip. This weekend we are doing a crazy huge garage sale fundraiser and it's going great! I had no idea we could gather that much stuff... so much stuff. As the time gets closer, my heart for the Filipino people grows. At our last meeting we talked about some of the things we are going to be doing while we are there. There are a few things that I am really passionate about. First, we may get the opportunity to help do a free medical clinic. The simplest things can be fatal due to lack of resources and education. What a blessing to provide what we in the US often take for granted.  Secondly, the kids. I can't wait to feed them and hug them and just love on 'em. I am excited that our goal is to create a lasting partnership with our friends in the Philippines that grows as the time goes on. We have an amazing team going this year (and we are getting to know each other really well while sorting through miles and piles of stuff!)
