Fundraiser news and update

I have been very neglectful in keeping up with blog posts lately, sorry all of you who follow here.
We are very busy planning for our next trip. We are going at the end of October.
Today we had our first fundraising event after church services. We are once again selling Fair Trade handicrafts from Guatemala. This year we are trying something new; we are taking orders for Fair Trade coffee. So far we are off to a good start with our fundraisers. We got several orders for coffee ad sold a few of our handicrafts.
We hope to work on the Mission Guatemala project, with our new friend Tom, and help him to renovate an old building into a medical clinic.
Tom will be speaking at our church on Aug. 14th, for an evening of coffee and desert, and tell us more about Mission Guatemala.

As I get more details ironed out I will try to post updates....

Mission plans update

Hi everyone, I know it has been a while since I last posted here but til now didn't have any thing new to write about. Now for the update; we have tentatively set a date of October 26th to November 6th, 2010 for our next mission trip to Panajachel Guatemala. I will be talking with Tom from Salud y Paz this week about the possibility of working with them while we are there. We hope to have more people join our team this time so we can work on a bigger project.
Right now, we are still tossing around fundraiser ideas. If you have any ideas please post in the comments. We are praying that this date will work out because we would love to celebrate our son's birthday in Guatemala with our Guatemala family. When I have more details, I will write more. Until then, El Dios bendicete!
