Sunday, May 10 We had our first meeting for Guatemala. I had the opportunity to meet all of my group members and get to know a little about them. There are 9 of us going! These individuals are amazing. I am so excited to get the opportunity to not only be apart of this experience but also build long-lasting relationships with these people. What we will be doing in Guatemala is a building project in the city of Uchuch and also, organizing and facilitating Vacation Bible School every day for the children.As time goes on, we will be getting more information on the cities we will be visitng and other projects we will be working on. NOW on to another topic, FUNDRAISING!! To all that are wondering my progress on fundraising. Well, my tri-tip dinner is set to be held Sunday, May 23rd. My mom is doing a fantastic job! She has gotten 75 people to buy plates already! ($10ea.)That day I am going home to show my appreciation and be with those that have supported. I just want to take this moment to say THANK YOU! As for my support letters, I sent out around 40 and have not gotten as many resonses as I hoped for. I am praying that GOd touches the heart of people to feel led to contribute. My Uncle Frank has helped me tremendously. He lives in Fresno and has spread the word about my trip and what I am trying to do. He has been a huge blessing thoruhgout this whole process. I thank all that have supported me so far in Fresno, you are forever thanked! I still have a ways to go and am continuing to walk by faith. Today, I will be sending out about 20 more support letters to people that I believe would potentially be willing to donate. Every week, I will be updating my progress. Everyone will be informed on how I am doing.
