One week countdown!

Can't believe I will be in Haiti in one week! Time is flying by!

What an awesome weekend! Spent a lot of time with my family and friends hanging out at the lake and enjoyed some sunny weather! I feel so blessed to be surrounded by people that I love and that love me back :) I had lunch last week with Katy Spengler and Bev Vanderwell which was such a blessing. I was having kind of a bum day the day before and talking to them and praying with them really helped me out. Thank you Katy and Bev!

Today I went shopping at World Mission (on 4 mile and alpine...check it out!) and at Goodwill. I got all my clothes for the trip; skirts, shirts, pants, scrubs, (almost everything I bring is left there) and a SUITCASE! Yes I will be bringing two suitcases and a carry on! The cost of the second suitcase is $30. Which is well worth it! Also, I got a bunch of VBS stuff last week from Hobby Lobby. If you know me, you know that is my favorite store! I'm so excited to do these arts and crafts with the kids! By request I will be bringing stuff for manicures and pedicures to do with the kids. :) super excited about that!

Items from Hobby Lobby:
Foam snap bracelets with stickers to decorate
Coloring books
Paper fans to color on
Bookmarks to decorate

Items for manicures and pedicures:
2 finger bowls
pack of files
pack of orange wood sticks (for pushing cuticles back)
scrub squares (for heels of feet)
5 fun color nailpolishes
1 top/base coat

As you know this all costs money, and I want to say a BIG thank you to those who have already helped me out! :) Below are some things that I still need to get, and if you want to help financially you can still send in a check to World Mission.

I'm hoping to have everything packed by Monday Night. I will be staying at my Dad's house on Tuesday night, as he so graciously volunteered to bring me to the GR Ford airport at 5:30am!
LOVE YOU DAD! :)

Short needs list: (in addition to previous)
2 bottles of Nail Polish remover (any kind)
Nail Polish--I have a few, but could bring more...
Props for skits....anything creative will do here!
Some snacks... I would like to pack some non-perishable items incase I will be preparing my own lunch...like mac n cheese, granola bars,canned spaghetteo's stuff like that. (yes...super healthy I know!:) )
Bug spray, bug spray, bug spray...I don't like our mosquito's...let alone the Haitian ones! :)
Medical Kit....to my fellow team members you know what I mean here!
Freezer bags...the big ones for packing

Special addition to this post!!!

 I am so pleased to tell you that our team raised extra funds on this last trip. This is so exciting! I have the pleasure of bringing $1500.00 worth of Treasures (audio Bibles) with me to distribute! This is one of the best things about these trips, we are able to bring the Bible in Creole (their language) to people who can't read, can't see, or can't speak English and they are solar powered! This is so awseome! On our first trip we were able to bring around 40, during the Crocs for Christmas fundraiser we sent another 25, and on our second trip we brought 50 which God turned into 54! YAY!!! Also, with the additional funds we have purchased a lap top for me to bring and leave there! This is really exciting because most of the lap tops that are there right now aren't working! Now for sure you will hear from me in Haiti. THANK YOU to everyone who has supported our last two trips!


A song that has been stuck in my head all day today: Glorious Day by Casting Crowns
Listen to it! (or look it up on youtube)
"One day when Heaven was filled with His praises
one day when sin was as black as could be
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin
dwelt among men
my example is He
the word became flesh
and the light shined among us
His glory revealed.
living He loved me
dying He saved me
buried he carried
my sins far away
rising He justified
freely forever
one day He's coming
oh glorious day
oh glorious day
one day they led Him up Calvary's mountain
one day they nailed Him
to die on a tree
suffering anguish
despised and rejected
bearing our sins
my reedemer is He
the hands that heal nations
stretched out on a tree
and took the nails for me
living He loved me
dying He saved me
buried He carried
our sins far away
rising he justified
freely forever
one day He's coming
oh glorious day
oh glorious day
one day the grave could
conceal Him no longer
one day the stone rolled
away from the door
then He arose
over death He had conquered
now is ascended
my Lord evermore
Death could not hold Him
the grave could not keep Him
from rising again
rising again
living He loved me
dying He saved me
buried He carried
our sins far away
rising He justified
freely forever
one day He's coming
oh glorious day
oh glorious day
glorious day
one day the trumpet will sound for His coming
one day the skies with His glories will shine
wonderful day my beloved one bringing
my savior Jesus is mine
living He loved me
dying He saved me
buried He carried
my sins far away
rising He justified
freely forever
one day He's coming
oh glorious day
oh glorious day
glorious day
oh glorious day
