Don’t forget the GIVEAWAY!
We are in need. Our family needs your prayers. If you have been reading our blog in 2011, you may have noticed references to us going through some hard stuff, the good kind of hard, the kind of hard that has made us fall to our knees. Through a series of God ordained circumstances, Our family has been praying about entering full-time missions. We leave for Africa on an exploratory trip and will be gone November 2-11. The Littles cannot go with us. I will write a little more about this before we leave on November 2nd.
We have been asked to take over supplies for the missionaries we are visiting and a small group home for orphans. We would be really thankful if some of these items could be donated. If you are interested in donating any of the following, leave me a comment or send me an e-mail. I am willing to do pick ups in the area and will also be down in the Bluffton area before we leave. Thanks for your consideration!

WOW!!! SO exciting!!! We will be praying for you!! I'd love to donate some clothes - I can have them shipped to you. I'll look online later today and e-mail you a confirmation so you know what I got.
Hey, Amy! I'll get the multivitamins! (Will you let me know if you want chewable or gummy?)
Hey Amy, We want to help. I have a friend that just asked if I know of anyone that is need of gently used toys. Can she send them your way? Email me at bradandjj at yahoo dot com.
Thanks.
Continuing to be prayerful for you guys. I"ll definitely be able to figure something . . .I'll get back to you.
I love your heart! I was looking into the soccor balls. They are $16 to ship to your house. I was wondering if I could order them and you could pick them up at your Walmart. I could also pick them up tonight possibly and take them to Bluffton this weekend. If you get this, email me at jagerbaner@gmail.com.
I can take the 4-year-old little guy!
(probably won't get to this until after this weekend if that's okay...not sure when you're swinging by!)
We'll take care of the jump ropes/puzzles and balls...how many of each do you want and I will take them to your mom
I'll get the purex laundry sheets if you still need them. Mandy
i have a ton of children's shoes if you're interested. new, croc-like, big kid sizes. we got stopped and had to pay customs fees on them last week... but if you think you can smuggle a few pairs, you're welcome to them.

I am so excited for you! We will be praying. Let us know if there is something specific we can pray for. God does amazing things when His children seek His face in prayer!!
Jon mentioned your news to David when we were in Leo a couple of weeks ago...so exciting! We will be praying for you and the girls as you go through all of the transition ahead.
