Connecting

So we are getting our PEARL name out there in the community and networking with those who want to work with us in the human trafficking areas. it's a great thing when God just puts people in your path and they have all the answers and encouragement you need for a month! i nearly cried this week when i met a guy at the grocery store who may be just what we need in many areas. these pictures are from our team at a bazaar where we talked to many leaders about what we are doing and what they are doing here so we can work together. i think it was a great start for our town! (and beyond)

i have started working on ideas for selling things...trying new things...here are some lamps i have made out of bird cages. i think it's a better idea to sell in america...but ya know...if we just keeping making and dreaming...and rising and rising...the lambs will become lions

you can't see a lot of the detail on this one but it's good to make :D

and i just like my mother's day flowers :D

hazel got ahold of the camera :D

a few hours at the local pool

summer time is almost here! but here it feels like summer all the time! we can swim year round...we sweat constantly...it's always sunny unless it's raining...life is good :D
