Hi friends!
THANK YOU! Operation Water turned out so well and I'm so grateful for each person who prayed, donated time, baked goods, money, and items, and for everyone who helped this week and yesterday! I have the best people in my life, you guys are awesome! :) Thanks for partnering with me in my goal to raise money for the thirsty in India through Living Water International!
There was so much help yesterday and so many people came to shop! It was a beautiful day! God provided so many great opportunities to connect with people I haven't seen in a while and there were just so many awesome things that He worked out all along this journey. I could write a book. :)
So the big question everyone wants answered is how much we made. We counted up yesterday's money but some more was added and we also have to recount (I fell asleep while I was counting last night! Haha.) We made a lot of money from the yard sale, bake sale, hot dogs, lemonade, and other parts of the sale. We sold a few items in the silent auction, but for the most part it was kind of a bust so I have a lot of valuable items left over. The plan is to take these and sell them online or in person if an opportunity arises. Then all of the money made from that will also be included in the project total. If there was anything that you saw in the auction that you were eyeing up and would like to directly purchase, please let me know!
That being said, I don't want to give a total just yet. I just don't want to declare the amount because it's not complete yet. :) But I will say that we are well on our way!!! Keep praying that when we total it all up we will reach our goal! I will send out an email once I have a grand total!
Again, thank you all so much for everything you've done to support me in this endeavor. I appreciate each and every one of you so much and I'm thankful to have each of you in my life!
God Bless,
Colleen :)
