Counting our Blessings

It has always been said that time flies when you are having fun. There is quite a bit of truth to that. The past few months of preparing for our trip has certainly brought our team a mixed package of emotions as we work towards our goal, but there certainly has been plenty of fun along the way and not a moment of regret. The time we have spent working towards the trip has been amazing as we have been able to watch so many great people come together. It has been a short few months of team collaboration and help from friends, family, organizations, and even complete strangers. It is truly a time for us to count or blessings as the pieces continue to fall into place.

We are not just 8 weeks until our departure to Arequipa! We want to take this time to thank everyone who has helped us along the way so far. With all of your prayers and donations, we have taken one step closer towards our mission. Although there is still more to be done, we are so blessed to have such great help.

If you still wish to help our cause, it is not too late! First of all, prayers are always appreciated! Please consider praying for our team as we continue to prepare for this trip. We pray for continued success in our efforts and that they may be a blessing to the people of Arequipa. Second of all, monetary donations are still appreciated. Online donations can be made here. Just put "Donation for SRU PT, Arequipa, Peru trip" under "How did you hear about MMI?"

There are also some items still needed:
Baby wipes, school supplies (crayons, markers, etc), stickers, bubbles, beanie babies, matchbox cars, playdough, beach balls.  We also need rechargeable AA batteries. We have chargers and tons of toys that need batteries!

Please consider making a contribution if you are able. Once again, thank you for your continued support. Be sure to stop back here again soon to track our progress!
