Update...

We are SO close to our fundraising goal! We are very thankful that our fundraising has gone so smoothly and we don't have any worries as we get closer and closer to leaving for Swaziland!

Our last fundraiser - "Sweets for Swazi" is going well! We made 130+ cupcakes and 8 cheesecakes for Memorial Day weekend and have more orders in the coming weeks in June and for the 4th of July weekend! If you would like to know what kinds are available or are interested in ordering anything, please email mjansen@frcpella.org. Cupcakes are $8/6 and Cheesecakes are $25.

We had a wonderful team dinner last Sunday where Cheryl & Keith Newendorp (team members) made us some delicious food common in Swaziland and/or South Africa! Some were nervous about eating unfamiliar food! Overall, we were quite surprised about how much we liked (almost) everything! We even got a chance to practice eating with our hands :)

If you wanna pray for us:

• Each team member will be doing a 30 or 40 day fast leading up to the trip. Please pray that we can focus on GOD alone during those days. Most have never done a fast before so this will be a challenging time! Pray that God is glorified and that through this we can become more like Him.
• Team unity - we have only a few meetings left as a team and are having a great time together! Pray for our team as we travel (1 student on a plane for the first time)!
• Excited, joyful, thankful hearts for the rest of the summer.

42 days left!!
