The last 2 days have been spent sorting and organizing the flood of donations. It feels like Christmas each time I open the front door! I can't count the amount of anonymous bags that have been left! Kendall (our 10 year old daughter) stood at the top of the stairs gazing at the mountain in our front hall just grinning from ear-to-ear. She is so excited! Today my kids helped me fill up ziplocks with small toys and candy for us to pass out. And Kendall has colored a box that we will fill with soda and candy for Tim and Kathy (house parents at one of the Hope houses). Ruth dropped off a HUGE bag of homemade Playdough yesterday. I know she put some love in there! This is so fun!
We had a small hiccup in that when Lee went to get pick up the van, he realized his license was expired. So, I threw the kids in the mini-van and drove like the wind to Pflugerville to meet him at the rental place before they closed. And I am now the official driver! Yee-haw, ya'll! There better be some prayers for this trip!

This is our front hall before John, Rhonda, Blake, and Shane showed up to help us load it all in a van. Shane just got home from BYBC boot camp TODAY and he is headed out with us tomorrow. He is losing his voice so, pray that he gets it back. We are counting on him to translate!
