Good Morning Party People!

Good Morning, Party People!!!

Man, we are so excited for today!  Our hearts have just been so full this week throughout this process of sharing with you, I think it has caught us a little off guard in some ways.  We have found ourselves just sitting side by side on the porch, taking in the sight of the tap-tap coming and going, jumping on the trampoline with all of the kiddos, pulling the goat behind the moto with a rope...all things we find ourselves saying, "I am going to miss this!"

We also find ourselves saying, "Go slow..."  Take the time to sit with someone, to hear someone and to just drink it all in!

Here are some of the details that we shared yesterday...We have some great giveaways that we would like to share with you...

The girls have recently discovered www.banded2gether.com and they are LOVING their headbands and hair ties.  What they love even more than that, is that with each headband purchased a child is given 3 MEALS!  They just can't wrap their heads around the idea that one headband=3 meals!  So, in honor of that--for the first 5 people, UNDER the age of 18, to donate...the girls will send a headband that they hand pick!  We would love for people of all pages to get involved, so let's see who we can give a headband to!!!

The second gift we will give, will go to the first person to give over $1000.  We would love to send them a copy of Jonathan Katz's book, "The Big Truck that went by".

Thirdly, for anyone willing to give over $1000, your name will be added to the "Insider's List".  All insiders will receive a guaranteed WEEKLY update from us with insider information of funny things our kids have said, unique to Haiti experiences we have shared, stories we encounter within and outside of our gates, etc.  It will be a fun "Insider's" look into our final chapter here in Haiti, an opportunity you might want to consider!

You will be able to chat with Rob and I from 10am-5pmEST today!  As soon as you make your donation, send us a message and let us know :)  We would love to FaceTime with you guys as you give, but our internet has just not been quite reliable enough...but make sure to send us a message on Facebook and chat with us for a while!

So today, on our blog page, we have a button that will take you to our Network for Good fundraising page.  There you will have the opportunity to give a given amount, either as a one-time donation or a monthly donation (6 months).  Another option would be to send a check in to Children of the Promise (designated to the Vande Lune's-just not directly on the check; address below) and then just let us know tomorrow via Facebook that you donated!

Let us know if you have any questions!!!

Here is the address that you can send your check to if you choose to do it via the mail:

Children of the Promise
PO Box 123
Prinsburg, MN 56281


We also just would love to have you pray with us over today!

God, we stand at your feet today with our hands lifted high...
We praise you for who you are and this crazy, wonderful, unpredictable journey that you have called us on!  We are so grateful for the time you have given us here in Haiti.  We pray and we TRUST that you are in this final chapter, you are already in the transition and you have already prepared the next steps for us.  THANK YOU, Jesus for those we have met on this journey, those you have brought along side us for this season, and those who have been so faithful to us throughout our lives.  We pray that your light has been evidence enough through us to also grow and change those who have journeyed with us.  God we CELEBRATE and give THANKS today for who you are, your sovereignty, your blessings to us and your faithfulness for each season of our lives!  Oh man, Jesus...this crazy crew of 6 in Haiti loves your deeply!

AMEN!

Let's get this party STARTED!!!!!!!
