Hi all,
Great to receive emails from you! I'm looking forward to mail day on Tuesdays as well. It's nice to hear news from home. Things here are going well. I have so much more to share already. I hope to write a more lengthy post this weekend. In the meantime I have had two main questions...
Shipping Packages
Many of you have told me you love to send packages - and I would love to receive them! I have since figured out the system (I think). :) You can ship packages to the FL address:
Sara Drebes
3170 Airmans Dr.
Unit 3017 - DDS DR
Fort Pierce, FL 34946
I will then pay about $1.50 per pound. If you want to include money for the item(s) in the package, you should definitely put it in a sealed envelope as packages are often searched. Including money is not necessary though, unless you want to send large items/supplies for the school (which we should talk about over email anyway).
Donations
God has truly blessed the fundraising aspect of this journey. Thank you to all who have felt the calling to be involved and have been so generous! Many of you are wondering where I am in the process. I am currently working on raising about $3000 more for Young Life in Jarabacoa. This money is not an extra salary for me, but rather goes directly toward ministry with middle school and high school kids in Jarabacoa. If you are interested in giving toward this need, please go to the giving link under "Young Life" to the right and include my account number (X8176). I can also email with more specific information. Email me with any questions you have.
Okay, that should hopefully answer the big questions for now. I am hoping to load pictures this weekend and write another update! I will email when that happens.
Thank you for the prayers and support. It's hard to describe how much I appreciate you.
Sara
