So today was a good day.
Let me share with you why that was..
Over the past few weeks mom and I have been collecting huge plastic bags FULL of bottles, and cans!!
Where they come from are stories in themselves, and so I'll share that with you.
Most of them find their way into the back of my pick-up from the construction site, as there are recycling bins set up for just this purpose, or from co-workers at the ranch, or anyone that is wanting to help out an incredible cause.
I must share with you though a special Jesus moment. My parents, a friend of mine and I went out kayaking last weekend, and the lake we went to was so busy! Boats, trailers, dogs and people were everywhere!
We finally made our way to the water to put our boats in and set off on an adventure! After paddling beside mountains, and wadding through chilly glacier rivers to catch a glimpse of some wild fish we decided to head back. As we were pulling the boats out and packing up my mom calls to me, "Kara! Kara! come take a look at this!" I wander over wondering what in the world she is wanting me to see...
And then as I get closer I see what brought the excitement to her voice...
two HUGE bags full of cans. But not just any cans, beer cans and bottles.
Now the reason that we were getting excited was first that they were just sitting there, but also the fact that you get afew cents more for beer cans instead of pop cans!! So we just landed a jackpot!!
We quickly grabbed them and made a dash for the car, and loaded them in the back.
So today was the day that we made a trip to the bottle depot, to change all the bottles for cash, all to be put towards buying blankets. Just from the past few trips we have got enough money for 20 MORE BLANKETS! How awesome is that? Some more exciting news is that we've recieved enough money through donations and recycling bottles that we can almost purchase enough blankets for all the children in the Mocohan school!
All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.

Thankyou for all your support as we bless with blankets!
Cheers.
