Hacky sack, equator and kabob

After a long day (or 2) of airports and planes, we are in Quito!!

All the flights and transfers went really well and smooth. Everyone is settled into their rooms at the hostel and in good shape other than being very tired.

We went to a nice little local place for dinner and had some good local meat and vegetables.

Leaving LAX!!

We are just waiting in line to head to Panama City!

Everyone is doing well and ready for some sleep on the flight there. Played some fun impromptu games and enjoying each others company.

Looking forward to getting the trip going and blessing as many people as we can!!

God bless and thank you for the prayers!

Correction - Next meeting date has changed

Hey guys, I messed up.  This sunday is father's day so we are moving our last meeting to June 26 (sunday) at the church from 6-7pm.  You still need to bring all of your money from your letters and car wash cards and your passports.  Call if you have questions.

Last Meeting - June 19

We are almost there!! One month from now, we will be boarding the flight to Quito!  Here are some things that need to be done by our next meeting which is June 19.

-All support letter money needs to be turned in to Brian or brought to the meeting.
-Passports need to be brought to the meeting.
-All vaccines need to be complete.
-All car wash cards need to be sold and money turned in.

At the meeting we will listen to the stories prepared by the "story team" and will also talk about details before we leave.

car wash cards are here

Hey guys, for those of you ordered car wash cards, they are here. Let me know when you can stop by the church and I can give them to you.

Next team meeting

hey guys...just a reminder that we have our next team meeting this sunday after the second service. May 15 12-2pm Lunch is provided.

Fundraisers

Hey guys - hear is the deal on the car wash cards. We let Travel Clean know hao many cards we want to sell, we have one month to sell those cards, then we get 40% of the profit to apply to our trip. The cards are $35 each, which means for every card you sell you get $14 to go towards your trip. This is an individual fundraiser which means you only get the money from cards that you sell yourself. What I need from you this week is to let me know how many cards you think that you can realistically sell in one month. Please contact me this week with that number and then I will order the cards.

For your support letters, I will put a form letter on the church website for you to download and use. You can change the letter any way you would like to make it personal. Those letters should be sent out by the first week of May to allow a few weeks for responses.

Remember the rummage sale is on May 20 (pick up 3-7pm) May 21 (sale 6:30-2pm).
