I am happy to report that the car wash
went great on Saturday!! We started setting up at about 8:45am, and
packing up at 4:45pm, and once cars started coming in they just kept
coming! We were super busy all day long, which was awesome but very
tiring! By the end of the day we were plumb tuckered! But what a
blessing! I would like to say a HUGE thank you to all of you who
helped make it possible...some people came in shifts, some people
stayed all day long, some people helped buy supplies...ALL of you
were amazing!!! I am so grateful for the experience of getting to
work alongside you guys. I also would like to thank all you people
who got your car washed!! There was a great turn-out, and I
appreciate your generous donations! We brought in $575! Praise the
Lord! What a team! I've included several pics at the bottom so you
can see a little of our car wash day.
This next weekend I have a couple
things happening, too. On Saturday I will be having a dessert at a
good friend's house with ladies from her church. I will be
presenting my ministry to them, and at some point to their church
mission board as well. On Sunday I will be talking to all the adult
Sunday School classes at my church during a brunch, giving some more
details about the journey to Germany and answering questions. I ask
that you please pray for these events, that the Lord would give me
the right words to say and that He would prepare the hearers.
I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial
Day (if you are in the States)! My family got together along with a
friend of mine, and we grilled steaks, had a campfire in our back
yard, and played Farkle. It was lovely. :)
John 15:16
“You did not choose me, but I chose
you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your
fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name,
he may give it to you.”
The carwash was fun! Granted, I'd be happy to not look closely at a car interior for the next few months. :)
