What a great weekend. Friday my sister Paula came into town to say one last goodbye (I’m pretty confident she’ll be visiting us in Kenya soon!) and that evening she treated Chuck and I to dinner at Outback…yummy and probably the last steak I’ll have for quite some time.
Saturday morning (6:30a.m. to be exact) Chuck and I headed over to the Moses’ home for the garage sale…
…which went very well. We loved visiting with everyone who stopped by and those who stayed to help pass the time…thank you! We made approximately $650 plus someone gave us a check for an additional $500…you know who you are and thanks!
At around 2 we delivered what was left to Savers, headed home for a quick shower and it was off to the Koch’s home for a Farewell/Fundraiser cookout.

We had a great time chatting and visiting with friends. Plus I got a great chiropractic adjustment before going home – thanks Chris!

Sunday morning my sister left very early (that’s why we said our goodbyes Saturday night!), we went to church at Desert Breeze, had lunch with three of our kids (Tarrin was serving the homeless in downtown Phoenix) then headed to Desert Breeze’s Farewell/Fundraiser. It was another opportunity to say goodbye but we also had people express an interest in coming to visit us in Kenya…to which I say “karibu Kenya” (welcome to Kenya)!
(Thanks Mary for the beautiful cake!)
Thank you all for stopping by for one more visit and thank you for your generosity (between the two events we raised over $1000!)…it’s hard to express what your sacrifice means to me, knowing the Lord touched your heart and you were obedient to His calling, thank you doesn’t seem enough. Through your visit you lifted me up in prayer, encouraged me through my tears and loved me as a fellow servant of God. I pray the Lord guides each of you in the direction He has for your life…
I look forward to keeping in touch with everyone through email, Facebook and the blog.
