another genius idea....

ight ladies and gents...

we will now be collecting plastic and glass bottles and cans... if you want you can save your recycling items in a trash bag and we will come by and pick them up and discard them appropriatly... this is not only help in our financial needs but save the whales and well.

We will also have a yard sell on friday the 23 starting at 6 am... it will be held at my parent's house on fremont st. ....those interested in giving anything away let us know.... thanks

God has a sense of humor too :)

Will WORK for MONEY

so here we are less than three weeks away from going back to sunny california... blue skys and burritos...

adrianna called me today n we had a nice talk...as we always do. it was filled wit funny faces on skype and bits of homework. the subject of finances is always a common topic we discuss on our skype calls.... and so on this fine afternoon we have created a business.... we dont quiet have a business name, office, logo, or business cards... but my partner (adrianna) will b on that i think ;) so our services will include....

*babysitting

*yardwork

*dishes

*housekeeping

*washing of the cars

*the process of taking out the trash

*picking up dog poooooop (adrianna's specialty...and idea)

*and basically anything else....

know waiting lists will fill up soon and we only have 2 weeks people... so hurry!

JUST KIDDING.....

but seriously we would love to help in anyway possible.... all funds and contributions will be added to the MandyAdrianna foundation copyright 08... this will fund the roadtrip, flight home for Adrianna, and hopefully if the LORD calls our next semester of bible college in the fall....

Paul was a tentmaker... this was his job... we are called to be tentmakers... it is a good skill to have... adrianna and i are working on the tentmaking skills... for now we will start with the ones we do have :)

let us know if you have any work for us to do.... u can email us manfree136@yahoo.com or leave messages on our cell phones...

with open hearts and working hands....

Char has already met many people n the town and has started to build relationships wit them...i hope to do the same. there are soo many kids there.. hopefully lord willing.... we will be able to plan some events to share the gosple wit the community and hang out with all of the kids...

please pray for the rest of this semester that god will continue to give me the strength i need, for my health that i dont get sick.. we have had everything here from kidney infections, strep throught, the flu, chicken pox, lice...oh we've had it all... pray for adrianna and i n are flight back home for safety and not getting lost or missing our flights, for finances just that god will provide in every area as he always does, pray for a possible job opportunity out in kentucky, and for this fall.... who knows what exciting things the lord brings.. just that i will be open and willing to go wherever.....
well...thanks for praying for us....
see you soon....or at least n yucaipa.....

RETREAT-ed

Hey guys!

man, i just got back from my retreat! it was gooooorgeous! oofff! we left monday morning for a two hour drive to the other side of the island and then embarked on our two hour hike to this completely secluded house in the middle of the island by Calla Rajata. It was amazing! No ELECTRICITY! man, it was so nice. We had devos every morning and that was pretty much it. Every night was ended by amazing camp fires and fun worship songs! haha good times.. but it was completely a time of relaxation and being able to get into "romantic time" with Jesus... which is much needed :) It is so nice to be able to go out, even without your Bible sometimes, and just sit with Him. Include him in anything and everything. Whether its putting butter on your toast or watching the sunrise... 

These last four days were just that. A time of hilarious fellowship. sun tanning, swimming, coffe with sunrise, coffee with sunset, amazing food by Paul ( chicken curry, pork chops ...), coffee, volleyball, soccer, cards, laughing, thumb war, naps, laughing .. coffee :)

God is so good, and he loves us so much!

Look at these pictures. They are flawless yea? Now read Genesis 1-2 , flawless yea? 

Exactly! The LORD has intended us to have this ALL THE TIME! we just jack it all up with our busy body city slicker lifestyle. But its okay, cuz we screw it all up all the time and He STILL loves us .. his thoughts towards us are more than the number of grains in the sand!!!! trip out on that!   

PSALM 139 ... read it puess :)

relaxed and loved, 

anna
