our successful garage sale

Saturday was the day we had our garage sale here at GFA. The forecast was supposed to be rain and thunderstorms. Well....we got sunburns. Because it was sunny, and not raining like it was supposed to, I knew that God was going to do something great! Before we could even get all the stuff out on the lawn there were people pulling in to check things out.


The reason we had this sale was to raise money for the YWAV India Vision tour. YWAV stands for Youth With a Vision, a group made up of GFA youth. There are 2 going from the Canadian office, one being my brother, and the rest are from the U.S. office.


We made signs and stood out by the road with them to suck people in. It's amazing how well that works.We also had a bake sale. Muffins, pies, brownies, rice krispie squares, soda.... :)

So at the end of the day we counted up our hard earned money and we had raised more then $500! God has answered our prayers and given us a very successful garage sale.

work. and then play.

Work and play makes for a satisfying day. Especially with my GFA family.

Dylan and Cassandra are going to India in July on a youth vision tour. And tomorrow we are having a garage sale to raise money for this. Up until now we have been taking donations and we had to sort through all of that today. We have soooo much stuff to sell! Hopefully it doesn't rain and we get lots of people going through buying things!


After that we had a bbq and played with water balloons which turned into a war in which you would use any water you could find.



Joan (now nick-named G.I.Joan) was ganged up on by the kids and is armed with a jug filled with water and a water bottle. I think she won. :D



Bean bag toss!

Then we played soccer for awhile on our new property next door. Now, not only do we have enough people for soccer, we have somewhere to play it!

It was a nice sunny day-awesome for a picnic and it was especially nice to laugh and play with the family.
