Monsters and Halloween


It all started with a dryer.
We moved to our lovely new home roughly 6 months ago, the same time that a friend of ours, Jenny, was having a garage sale to raise money for her mission trip to a foreign land.   We contributed by giving her more than just what we were getting rid ….we donated our dryer.  By the time she dropped by to pick up our dryer it had already sold!! Cha-ching!! Jenny’s garage sale made enough money to help her make their trip to an amazing country.  


A few months later we decided to adopt.
THEN, out of the clear blue Jenny called about the dryer.  She told us that the lady who originally bought it had moved and given it back to Jenny who already had a dryer and didn’t need another.  She offered us the dryer then she offered to be our “garage-sale-planner” which is like a wedding planner except not just one BIG day its TWO!!  And would you believe it if I told you the dryer sold one day before the garage sale started!
What do you think of our monster sign?


Thank you the Springerville Baptist Church for opening your gym to us, Calvary Chapel for additional tables and support, to everyone who donated stuff for the garage sale,donated financially, prayed, volunteered, set-up, cleaned-up, boxed-up encouraged, organized, and just came to stand around with us. 


God allowed us to make enough 
to cover all of our
initial expenses thus far! 
Praise God!
