Krispie Kremes - YUM!

What a day! We feel truly blessed! Blessed to see how God's is working to help us bring Maylynn home. These past 2 weeks have been amazing and I still get teary eyed just thinking about it.

It was Lance's idea to try to sell Krispie Kremes - I knew it was going to be alot of work (and had my doubts) We had to sell 300 dozen doughnuts to make a good profit for our airplane tickets. We couldn't have done it with out our Jr.High Youth group! We were so thankful to our church's Jr. High Leaders for helping us get some volunteers. We had about 20 kids from our Youth group & a few family & friends help - isn't that amazing!! They all did such an awesome job and it was SO fun getting to know them better! I've heard that they had fun too:) Lance was planning on going to Spokane alone to pick up the doughnuts - i jokingly asked the boys if they'd want to drive up with Lance and Brayden immediately said YES! (Taylor is more like his mom and unfortunately prefers sleep:)) So, at 3:30am they headed up to Spokane - picked up the doughnuts at 5:30am and headed back to the Tri-Cities. They arrived just in time (luckily there were not cops out - Lance did a little speeding to make it in time) to meet the other "teams" and to give them their doughnuts. By 8:30 we were ready to let the selling begin! It was a bit slow... By 9:30 -we had sold maybe 10 boxes - i really had my doubts:( And then i remembered - i didn't pray about it. So I did! And i was reminded about Peter and him having doubts in Matthew 14:31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?" Why did i doubt? - Well, unfortunately that is the "flesh" in me and i'm so sorry that i did. You'd think that i'd learn by now not to doubt but it is SO easy to go there! God is SO faithful! The next thing i new it was 12:00 and we were down to 7 boxes left (at our location)!! AMAZING!! Then i heard that another location had sold out by 11:30! And our 3rd location just had about 20 left! by the end of the day we had sold 275 dozen doughnuts!!! I honestly did not think that we would be able to do that and was hoping just to break even BUT we didn't do it God did it!!!

God has answered prayers and has provided! We now have the amount that we've been praying about in order to bring Maylynn home! Praise God!

And a special thankyou to all of those "angels" that helped us by eating the doughnuts or selling the doughnuts or simply praying for us!
