So we finally bit the bullet and did our first presentation about the Girls and the Hogar at the Quincy Church. We thought it was fitting that Quincy was our first stop, as they had sent us off to mission almost 2 years ago when we started this journey. It was a wonderful experience. Wonderful to share our experience in a meaningful way with a community that means so much to us. I had forgotten how many amazing and loving people had touched our lives in Quincy.
I also wanted to give everyone an update on our goal of raising money for the Playground Toy. We need a total of $2,000 US dollars. We started with $600 dollars from donation gifts for last Christmas. In Quincy we raised another $650 dollars, and another $80 dollars from talking with various people. From all these amazing generous people, we have raised a total of ... (du, du, du!) ... $1,330 dollars!
So, we've only got $670 left to go! We'll be posting more news as the project progresses. Keep watching!
