Fundraiser Supper

What an amazing evening we had!! It was busy, busy for 2 days before with cooking and making sure everything was going to be there, but the night of the meal went off without a hitch!! God knew exactly what we needed and we had enough of everything. We made stewed chicken, stewed red beans, white rice, vegetable soup, spinach soup, and tres leches (three milk)cake. There were enough funds raised to pay for our medical insurance for the year! We continue to be amazed at the blessings that God gives. Just when we think we are not going to succeed, God says "Oh Yes you are!" and keeps his promises. Whenever we wonder if this is really what we are supposed to be doing, going to live in the Dominican, He reassures our decision with blessings. Even though we know it is going to be tough to be without our family and friends for a whole year, God will be with us just as He promises in Joshua 1:9. We just want to thank everyone involved with making this evening a huge success!

Our little home!!

I was so excited to see our little home!! A few days ago we received a photo of our little place we will be living in. It is very small and cute, but all that we will need. Enough, and that is all we had prayed for.
You must know that this is part of an entire complex! Right out our bedroom window at the back of the house is the pool, that is used by the entire camp, but hey we can share!! There is a LOT of lush, green grass and tropical plants just to the left of the photo and the area is beautiful. We are thrilled and honoured to live there in July! Hopefully some of you will come for a visit.

With 66 days to go until we leave there are a thousand things that still have to be done, from packing to buying medical insurance, from planning how to get everything we need down there to fundraising, from preparing to say goodbye to loved ones to making sure we have enough summer clothing. The other day I was wondering about elastics, a stupid thing really, but what if we really needed an elastic when we are there and don't have any, so I threw some in my bag. As days go by we get more and more excited and less and less nervous. We just want to get there and start our lives serving God and being with the people who have touched our lives so much. We will keep you posted as the time comes closer.
God Bless

Commisioning Service

Hello everyone,
Happy Mother's Day, yesterday. We also had our commisioning service at our church.
It was really a lot of fun. Going up on stage at church is always a little nerve racking, but well worth it! We were blessed by our "family" there and were able to sell a few tickets to our Dominican Meal Fundraiser. Still quite a few tickets to go on that with less than 2 weeks before the fundraiser itself. We know that things will work out though!
We are slowly packing up our household and storing in the basement storage room, garage or in the neighbours basement.
Gotta run, talk to you soon.

Getting Ready

Oh my goodness, I can't believe that it is only 81 more days until we leave for the Dominican Republic for a whole year!! And that we will be there as missionaries.
July 14th is when I will be done my job and I can hardly wait.
I will miss my friends at the library and the kids at storytime, but that is about it.
I am going to love this time and be very lonely at the same time.
Will keep you posted as to how our plans are going as well.
Our fundraising is going well and we are just over half way there.
Better go now, talk to you soon.
Love Buttercup
