Updates

We are still working out details for our stay in Panajachel. I spent part of the week looking for answers to a question that was asked of me, regarding concern over mosquitoes. I am happy to report, that after talking with several people and finally talking to the right person, I was told there is no problem with mosquitoes in the Highland area, where we will be traveling. The only time this may be an issue is during the rainy/wet season. There are so many choices but we have narrowed our search for lodging down to two places. The details are really starting to come together.

Just a reminder; don't forget to check out www.heartoftheskyfairtrade.com , our online fundraiser is still going on. If you make a purchase, please use our 'promo code' Shiloh UMC, so that it will go towards our fundraiser.

Thank you for all your support through prayer, donation or purchase from the fundraiser!

Good day

Our fundraiser was on Sunday, despite the weather went pretty well. We will be setting up a table at the Fall Festival, so I will have the stuff available over the next several weeks, if any one would like to look. You can contact me through my e-mail address, listed on the blog. The online sales fundraiser will continue for the next four weeks so you can also go online and check things out. For information on where to go and how to make a purchase, that is a part of our fundraiser see the previous blog post.

Now we continue with the planning for our lodging, airfare, work and all the little details that need worked out. So we continue to move forward little by little getting every thing set for our mission trip. Thank you to every one who made a purchase or said a prayer of support during our fundraiser on Sunday.

for them all.

Guatemalan Crafts have arrived

I know I posted in an earlier post that our Guatemalan Craft Fundraiser will be on September 14th. We will also be having an online sales fundraiser, starting that same day and running for 4 weeks. Just wanted to take time to let everyone know that our Guatemalan crafts have arrived. The UPS guy delivered our box, yesterday. Checking out all the items in the box, seemed to make our upcoming Mission trip more real. We've been planning and planning but it has been just that a plan. Now that we are preparing for the fundraiser, we are doing and planning, so it seems more of a reality. Sorry if it seems I'm rambling.

I tried to post a couple of pictures but there seems to be some sort of technical problem. So I will try to post them a little later.
