sorting organizing and inventory-ing!

Hey friends! Just a little update... this week has been crazy so far! This last weekend most of the team was up in the bay area working, planning, contacting, brainstorming and bonding for the Christmas trip! We're going to be hopefully sending money to our friends in Ukriane to buy jackets there. We have about 100 already [crazy donations came in over the weekend!] but we still need about 100 more. So if you want to donate to that cause, please do! So the weekend was full of fun and planning and 5:30am bed times.... but it was good! And we got a lot done.
Monday and Tuesday we were at Bethel Grace Baptist Church in the fellowship hall sorting through all the donations we've gotten for Christmas! There was so much stuff... we thought we'd never finish! But we did and it was amazing! I thought I'd share some pictures!
We had a ton of stuff... I mean really... look at it all!

I really wondered if we'd get through it all...


We got over 250 blankets! Thank you Starbucks for doing the drive! Each kid at the orphanage will have a nice warm blanket!

We got about 60 pairs of shoes [we still need a ton more!]

Christmas presents! We've got almost all of them! For every kid at the orphanage! Thanks to all of you who helped with that!


We had some amazing help! Thanks fam!


Mom even indulged us in our silly photo making while sorting through some random stuff we got!


Even the kids helped out!


And we just had some fun... I mean, when you get donations this cool, you just have to take pictures!


...and the gansta version

Those are some sweet purple hats!



Purple wonder man. 'Nough said.

And by the way, the fellowship hall needs mopping Larry.


Eventually, we finished! And we were happy! Yay for an empty room!

Again, thanks so much for helping family! And Megyn! And Donnie... for the laughs and the pizza! Spasiba! Ya loobloo vas!
God is working to pull this all together! It's exciting! Keep praying! Thanks guys!
