We had the opportunity to share at our River Valley Church

main campus in Apple Valley this weekend.

We consider it an honor and blessing to encourage others.

So grateful for all the amazing staff, meeting new people and seeing friends!

Writing this made me think about a few weeks ago when we were helping remove brush from Barrett's sisters' back yard up on Gambrill Mountain. The older kids went right for the Big Stuff. They were tugging and breaking and pulling it right out of there! All this time, Anders was right there with them wanting to get the Biggest Stuff he could! He was tugging and breaking and pulling so hard his little face was bright red but his branches we're really small compared to the other kids. After we were finished I told the kids they all did a great job and we had great team work! It was in Anders heart to help move the mountain and it didn't matter how much of the mountain he moved because he did what he could and THAT made a difference.

Do We Really Smell That Bad?!

 

Do we really smell that bad after over 3,500 miles in a minivan, Tonka?!

Tonka was happy to see us...I guess?

 

We are back in Minnesota!

We are so thankful to those who helped make our fundraiser sale a huge success in Middletown, especially Christy Adkins Butler for organizing and her grandparents for hosting, family who opened their homes to us and New Day Church in Cumberland for inviting us to speak! We enjoyed meeting so many new people and visiting with friends and family.

O'Brien Kids always smiling!

They donated a Huge jug of money!

 Abbi losing her mind after many,

many miles in the van with the boys!

Anders may or may not be happy about the long car ride and pink party hat.

He had fun at the party though!

Middletown Fundraiser-Back in the Vallley!

July 5^th 2013

Middletown Fundraiser

It’s so exciting for me to be back in my hometown and we feel especially blessed that our friends are putting on a fundraising sale for us today & tomorrow!  If you are in the area please stop by and see us, we would love to see you!

The fundraiser is located at 705 E. Main Street in Middletown.

Friday July 5^th 8am-6pm

Saturday July 6^th 8am-3pm

Progress updates:

Our goal date for the move to Haiti is August 17^th.

Our current monthly sponsorship is at $1,580

We need to be at $5,800 a month before we leave.

Please consider being a monthly sponsor, no amount is too small, one brick doesn’t build a wall but thousands of bricks can build a city!

Typical Monthly sponsorship levels, however, please let your heart be your guide; whatever you can do would be a blessing to us and the Haitian people.

$10 - $20 - $25 - $50 - $75 - $100 - $ 150 - $ 250 - $ 500

Thank you so much for your prayers and continued support!

God Bless,

Barrett and Carrie Todd
