Thank you to everyone who attended the Mexico Mission Trip Silent Auction! It was very successful, and we owe a lot of our success to the generous volunteers and attendees who were there. I think everyone had a lot of fun getting into bidding wars, and I think many people walked away with at least one thing that they wanted. I know the Mexico Mission Trip Team definitely walked away with a prize--we are now $2,000 closer to Mexico! God has blessed this trip in amazing and miraculous ways. I'm so excited to see what He has planned for us.
This is the before picture, when the chips and the salsa were still pristine and untouched.
First raffle! The winner got a dozen cupcakes from downtown Tacoma's Hello Cupcake! YUM! Delicious goodness!
We had some beautiful performances by guest vocalists and guitarists. They blew me away!
I really enjoyed James' motivational talk about "weight." He wasn't talking about the weight we carry on our thighs and around our midsection, but about the weight that we carry on our shoulders. He focused particularly on the weight our teenagers who are going to Mexico carry on their shoulders everyday. The teenagers motivate him, he said, because they have had to carry so much weight their entire lives, and they have had to figure out ways to cope with carrying all of that pressure and weight.
Everyone's putting down their competing bids with only a couple of minutes left!
Two sharply-dressed members of the Mexico Mission Trip Team! Don't they look ready to serve?
Everyone's enjoying their delicious food (enchilada casserole) made by the awesome New Life Square Kitchen, and the food was made even better because it was served by the lovely New Life Program Ladies.
Thank you all for your support! We will continue to keep you updated on our trip.
