We ordered more...

The money keeps rolling in, and so do the boxes of supplies! Thank you. Instead of cutting the project off early, we decided to order more tote bags, and we'll put together as many as we can. We have filled all the items for the 200 hundred bags, but we purchased 100 more totes... With all the e-mails we keep receiving we didn't want to be short again. :)

So, if you were still planning on donating we'll be happy to have it! Don't worry about the supplies being full, we have 100 more to fill. It would be a great help to still receive all the items by the 10th, because we have a lot of cash to spend to fill in where we lack. We can't wait to see many of you in less than two weeks to compile so many bags! I was excited to learn that my Fifth graders, all 65, will help with setting up that day! It about made me cry when they told me. Also a BIG THANKS to the Beckstrand/Jones family for keeping the totals up to date, it hasn't been easy.

Thanks again for all the support from all over the world. Its been an incredible experience.

    Beautiful picture - You are doing hard things over and over again! Good luck with finals and wrapping up such a huge (and getting more huge!) project in the midst of school, being pregnant, grieving, and just all the curves that life throws out at any of us.

    I stumbled across your blog. And I am so thankful I did. My mind has been thinking a lot about the phrase " I can do hard things". I heard it on my mission for the first time and it seems to be popping up again just when I need it most.
    What an example you are of faith and inspiration. Thank you for sharing your experiences with the world.

Hi, we're the Sullengers! Life turned upside down for us in 2010 when we lost our daughter in an accidental drowning. Since then, we've documented our highs (life with all five of our kids) and our lows (struggles with grief) but amongst everthing we've experienced, we know as long as we hold on to one another we can get through anything that comes our way.
