Hello again. September is here and already moving at lightening speed! MTI was wonderful and now I feel as prepared as I can be to go to South Sudan. I thank The Mission Society for all their diligence in preparing missionaries for the field.
As was mentioned on my last blog a Silent Auction and Thank You Party is planned for Sunday, September 27th at the CLEC, St. Paul UMC, 1199 Highland Ave, Largo Fl 33771. It will start at 2pm with a preview of items and refreshments, and bidding to begin at 3:30 pm. Here are just a few items that have come in:
(4) Tickets to the Bucs vs Cowboys
Rays basket (includes an autographed ball by Brandon Guyer)
A professional photo sitting
Package of 6 massages - One a month for six months!
Collectibles
Gold jewelry
Golf lessons and green fees
A Baby basket
A "Cooking" basket
Hand crocheted blanket
Original framed painting
Much more!
This is just a sample of what has been donated so far. I'll be updating the list periodically. If you would like to donate something for the auction please contact Mary Vaughn at crackermary41@gmail.com or Darlene Coburn at dar567@tampabay.rr.com. Thank you very much everyone! The proceeds from the auction will help with getting a solar system to bring to Yei, and setting up housekeeping and (hopefully) a bike.
