Second Times the Charm!!

We want to first give a HUGE shout out to all our friends and family that came out to support us at our second car-wash this last weekend!! Wether it was to wash cars with us, get your car washed or just to drop by to say hey, we could not have done it without you!!!
With the help of Fran Smith, Shelby Schwitters, Abby Zopfi, Amy Metz, Roseleen Meade, Josh Meade, James Spencer, Crystal Backus, not to mention Zoe and Judah Fleck we were able to raise just over $700 this weekend!! Such an encouraging weekend!! We still have about $4000 to go before 5/15 (when we need to have all our funds in), but we will continue to trust the Lord that He knows what He's doing better than we do.

Soooo, Here's what's coming up:

5/12: Chevy's night!! From 4-9pm 25% of your dinner check will go to our team!! How great is that!?!? So, celebrate Cinco De Mayo a little late, or AGAIN!!!

5/15: All our money must be in or pledged by this afternoon. Please if you haven't yet and would like to, or would like to donate again to the team either online at

https://app.etapestry.com/fundraiser/SimpsonU/Amsterdam2010/individual.do?participationRef=4872.0.332222623

Or through the mail to: Simpson University C/O Student Development 2211 College View Drive Redding CA 96003 (and put AMSTERDAM in the Memo line)

You can also call, facebook or comment on our blog your pledges! Just be sure we have enough info to contact you later. (Pledges at latest need to be in by the time we come home, preferably before we leave on 5/21)

5/21: We're boarding a plane to Amsterdam!!! From San Fransisco at 655p. Pray for safe travel!

Once again, thank you to all of you who have come out to fund raisers, donated, and just in general been there for all of us. To say it means more than you know is still not quite enough....

Training week: Chelsea and Elisa are currently out on conquest, which is a grueling leadership training week in the mountains. Keep them in your prayers that they stay rested as possible and healthy.
The team heads into training week as soon as they return, keep us all in your prayers for continued bonding within the team, health (in all regards), and of course finances.

Thank you again!!!
Greatest Blessings!!
-The team .
