Lana's garage sale...

All of this, plus another load have been filling

our school room and garage since the party.

That is in addition to the trailer full that

we took to Lana's on the day of the party.

I am so happy to report that my

house is now free from clutter.

If you know me well, you know that just storing

all of this was an act of sacrifice for Christ...

I don't do well with clutter! :o)

Friday and Saturday was the BIG garage sale at Lana's.

In our preparation for this event,

we pulled out items for the Burundi families,

Lana's friends in Mexico and

a few boxes for some non-profit organizations.

(Lana's friend gave her lots and lots of paper goods.)

This was Friday... I couldn't even photograph

everything we had set out. 

It spilled onto her neighbor's yard, and I still

brought another van load full on Saturday.

The garage sale proceeds totaled $820

PRAISE GOD!!!

This money will be used for the Burundi families,

two Burundi college students,

a group of widows in Africa,

and a single mom of 7 in Mexico who needs

improvements made to her little home....

all lives that Lana has been involved with.

Told ya she was a neat lady!!

We also sold many of these necklaces. 

Neither Lana, nor I can remember just how much

money we put into the Uganda money bag,

((which already had  funds in it))

but it is somewhere around $60-$70.  We think...

 These are hand crafted by people living in Uganda,

and all of the money goes right back to them to be

 used for food, water and housing. 

I absolutely love these necklaces....

the large beads are actually tightly

rolled pieces of magazines.
