Backpack Update

This Friday, we are handing out 25 backpacks!! How exciting is that?!?! Last Friday the count was 8, today it's 25!! I am so excited about this whole thing! I feel like it's going so fast, but also so slow. Tomorrow we'll be packing the food and Friday we'll be delivering it. I can't wait!!

Some have asked me, so I'll post it here. If you wanted to sponsor a child, it would be $15 per month per child. I am not worried about the money -- God will take care of that part, but some have asked, so here it is.

Continue to pray for us!! The school is very excited and they are so on board with this!! Last Friday the school called me and said they had 8 kids they wanted to send food to. I didn't have enough time to go get the food and bag it up, etc. When I explained that to the lady, she said that was ok because they would just go buy some food and make up some backpacks for the kids to take home that day. That is some dedication!! Now it's all coming together like it's supposed to and I'm so excited!! Joel picked up the food and backpacks today and delivered it to the CCRC, so all we have to do is pack it all up tomorrow!! YAY!!

Have we been told when we're supposed to be there to do the packing?

If we have, I think I missed it.

What are the details?

Yeah we need more details! I can only be there during lunch unless it's after 5, but I'm more than happy to there!
