Car Wash Fundraiser and UPDATE

Today was our Car Wash at the Dairy Queen on Churn Creek. We had a car wash and Dutch Bros. also donated a free limo ride in their all-new Dutch Bros. limo that we were able to raffle off.
We were definitely
weary the night before because the weather was not supposed to be very nice and there was a good chance of rain. But we had to go through with it because this was one of our only free weekends and we had been planning it for some time. The car wash began and we had a few people come through and then after a few cars NOBODY came for a good 20-30 minutes. We started to get a bit discouraged and so we decided that we needed to pray and to dedicate the car wash to the Lord and give it all over to Him in trust. About one minute into praying, one car came rolling in to get washed...and then one more right behind that...and one more behind that!! All at once we had 3 cars roll in as we were praying! God is so amazingly faithful and it blew us away today. We all just started laughing and got to washing the cars. However, after another hour it was dead again. So again we gathered to pray. As soon as we started praying two cars came in to get washed. We started washing cars while others kept praying. That is how the whole day went...we were discouraged because of the weather and the lack of cars to wash but God completely showed up and totally provided exactly what we needed! He is so good and we are constantly amazed by how He has provided for us along the way. So with that...the car wash was a success and it was a really great day!

Now for an update on how our trip planning is coming. We are buying our plane tickets right now and our official trip dates are now May 21st-June24th. We have raised about 6,000 dollars so far as a team and we need 10,000 more to go. We trust that the Lord will provide this! We are less than two months away from our departure and we are so excited! Continue to pray for us as we prepare ourselves to go and pray that the Lord will prepare our hearts and minds for what is to come.

Thank you all for supporting us through this whole process!
