Thank You Grace!


I would like to thank the Quilters of Grace Lutheran Church who generously donated 12 quilts for Brooke and I to take back with us to South Africa. It is winter here, and although it doesn't get nearly as cold as it does back in the states, temperatures can dip to freezing and below at times. Here is a picture of Emmanuel and his neighbor Derek with one of the quilts that were donated. Emmanuel was part of my Junior Achievement program last year. He lives on his own in a cinder block house with no insulation. You can tell by the smile on his face how blessed he feels!

Grace Lutheran Church also sent back many new pairs of socks, soap and face cloths to give out to those in need. They also allowed us to host our "Taste of Africa" dinner at their church. Thank you so much for all you have done! The rest of the quilts and donations are on their way to Swaziland today with Robyn and Samantha!
