This week we were contacted by a Mother-Daughter pair who are very interested in helping us with a fundraiser for the orphanage. The daughter would like to volunteer in Guatemala, and her mother would like to organize a drive with the Stake Young Womens, and make this their annual service project! This stake consists of about 150 girls, and could really make an impact on the orphanage! She is also a pre-school teacher, and has been speaking with our educational director, Ken Mangum, about what we need. We're so grateful for her enthusiasm, and it's a blessing that she finally found us. She told me she had scoured the internet for weeks trying to find my contact information. Then at 2am, Monday morning, she found my blog. I find it interesting because it's relatively easy to find our info through a google search, but she didn't make contact until right AFTER we had all come together, assigned responsibilies, and had a clear direction. If she had called 4 days earlier, it would have been disorganized, and she most likely would have been put on some type of contact list for later. I'm finding that things just seem to work out, and it humbles me.
Ken Mangum also gave a presentation to Sun First Bank, and they would like to do a fundraiser with their employees. It's so exciting to see other people get excited about something you're passionate about! Great job Ken!
