It's hard to believe that it's almost here...but it is! WE leave for Guatemala in 8 weeks! We're both nervous and excited for what is before us. Our finance update is below. Our goal is to reach 100% of our monthly support by July. This would mean that by October the addition of all the monthly support we receive from May-September will complete our pre-feild budget and we'll be ready for the mission field.


Total Need Total Raised % Remaining Need
Pre-Field Budget $28,000 $16,500 59% $17,000
