Yard Sale Fundraiser

This Saturday was our big yard sale fundraiser with the Costa Rica mission team. We had been preparing for the sale for weeks: collecting items and furniture, putting up fliers,and coordinating. W e ended up collecting a TON of stuff to sell, including many big furniture items and many, many clothes.

So we woke up at 4 am on Saturday to start transferring everything we had from one room to the outside basketball courts at Simpson. We filled trucks and cars numerous times before everything was out onto the courts. Then we had to start the process of sorting it and setting it out on tables and tarps. When the sale started at 7am we were just finishing setting everything out. We all worked really well together and were able to get everything done.

Throughout the day many people showed up and bought stuff. By the time we were done with the sale at 1pm we had sold close to everything we had collected. Our total profit in the end was $1806.77!!! It was a huge success and we are so thankful for everyone who showed up to help out and to buy stuff :) Also to all those who donated your items to the sale. We feel so blessed by everyone who is so willing to support us, and we are so happy at the way the fundraiser worked out.

We were also able to collect and pledge enough money to buy our plane tickets this week! We still have around $10,000 to go for our whole trip, but it is such a weight off our shoulders knowing we are able to buy our airfare now. So thank you to everyone who has donated to our trip!

We are still preparing and planning so please continue to keep us in your prayers!
