News 8

Carrie Vick from News 8 in LaCrosse has contacted the girls and will be doing a story on them this Monday. It should air at the 6:00 and 10:00 news. She has asked the girls to take video of their trip and plans to do a followup interview upon their return.

Until our posts from Malawi, we speak to you in Chichewa....."Zikomo" and "Lawira" Thanks and Goodbye!

*Well Fund update: I am comfortable stating that the amount the girls have raised is close to $23,000. *I plan to upload some photos from the Dovre Mother-Daughter banquet *This will be the last time that I post until we are able to post once in Africa. We leave for Minneapolis on Monday night and fly out Tuesday afternoon. A short flight to Atlanta and a 2 hour layover is the beginning of the journey. We then board for our almost 19 hour flight to Johannesburg, South Africa and then another flight of 2.5 hours to Lilongwe. Emotions for me are running high presently. I just can't believe the time is here. The girls are almost packed. Lee and I plan to do our packing tomorrow. *Feeling Blessed

Success!

It has been some time since we have updated the blog. The girls have currently raised close to $22,000 for the wells. In two weeks they will be presenting their mission work at Dovre church. It is with excitement that I write to you today to share that our family will be traveling to Malawi in July to dedicate the 2 wells that the girls have established. Your continued prayers and support are appreciated.

A very special thank you to Abby and Bryce Werch. These two stewards were inspired to help Emma and Claire out and sold nearly $1,500 in bracelets to friends, family and members of their church. Amazing and grateful!
