UNDONE

As I am reflecting on today, we had a SHOUT meeting after school and Miss Bohinc talked about her experience in Ethiopia, Africa. This changed my life completely. She shared pictures that took my breath away, and shared heartbreaking stories. This made me feel a little selfish, having so many clothes and shoes and family, where children there are orphans, have no shoes, and are begging for someone to pay attention to them. I hope I can get involved in the future, and go on a mission trip to Ethiopia someday.

The Nudge That Left Me Awestruck

My love for Carry 117 all started when Melody Workman, from Sandals Church, reached out to me and asked if I would be willing to head-up a Carry 117 merchandise table at a church gathering. Without hesitation, I jumped at the opportunity—mainly because I didn’t want to disappoint her. I had no real knowledge about the organization, but the name rang a bell from a prior gathering that was hosted to raise money for the Carry 117 compound in Ethiopia.

Thankful: feeling or expressing gratitude

It’s that time of year when everyone’s asking, “What are you most thankful for?” We stopped and looked at each other and thought, “How do we even begin to list them all?” So, we will list a few:

We are thankful for you.

Without the support and encouragement from all of you, we wouldn’t exist as a ministry.

We are thankful for every person who purchased a bag this year.
