LAST BLOG ENTRY FOR OUR MISSION!!!

Dear family and friends,

Our last blog is dedicated to all of you that made many wonderful things happen for some people in Madagascar. Without your donations we could not have accomplished the many projects that came our way. You have been a blessing in their lives and ours also.

Donations came from family, a Bee Hive class, friends, missionaries families, and strangers. We tried to spend your money as wisely as we could. We had over 14,000,000 ariarys donated which is over $7,000.

The blog below will show where some of that money went. There was money spent on getting Malagasy missionaries ready for their missions. Back packs, luggage, white shirts, passports, dental work and immunizations. Some how we never took a picture of them. We also passed out rice and beans in Christmas 2008.

As you have helped some of the least in the world, may Heavenly Father's blessings be with you.
We love you and look forward to being with you in the future.

Love,

David & Judy
