Hey Everyone,
Sorry I haven´t posted in forever. I would like to ask for a prayer request on this post though. A couple days ago we found out that Mary, a full time volunteer who has been on vacation, was in a car accident. What they knew at the time was that she broke almost all her ribs, punctured a lung, and has a huge cut across her neck from the seat belt. We haven´t heard anything new but if you could please pray that her recovery is quick that would be awesome!
When I hear more I'll let you know!
Thanks,
=Andrea

A day in the life of a carrot!
Hey Everyone,
On Wednesday Kristin and I drove into the USA and got donations for a produce place in El Paso and then Thursday we drove over to Las Cruses to get donations from a food bank there. Well in Las Cruses I also got the chance to meet both sets of her grandparents. It was really fun to get to meet them and have Olive Garden J.
Rivers of Mercy was blessed with a TON of donations from both places so Kristin and I have been busy chopping, bagging, and freezing veggies.
Here is the adventure of the carrots J
 |
| Our Carrot arrives in a rather large and heavy bag with his fellow carrots |
 |
| After being removed from his former home he is then washed.... |
 |
| and prepared to be peeled |
 |
| once his gross outer layer is removed.... |
 |
| and is discarded... |
 |
| our carrot, depending on his size, rejoins 2-4 of his fellow carrots and is prepared to be chopped |
 |
| the awesome huge knife does his job well |
 |
| once chopped our carrot is once again reunited with he fellow carrots, from the world of the rather large heavy bag, to be boiled, cooled, bagged, frozen, and at a later time consumed. |
 |
| The big picture |
 |
| One orange hand, two hours later, tons of bags of carrots to be frozen and later consumed.....all in a days work ;) |

SOCCER!
Hey everyone,
Saturday October 2nd was rather exciting as all the kids, Roberto, Martha, Filipe, and I loaded up in the van and went to a soccer game! It was my first real soccer game and was pretty cool (although I had no idea which team I was supposed to be cheering for 'cause the crowed acted the exact same when each team scored a goal :).) The pictures didn't come out the best but i'll upload some anyways :) And once again here is a link to my facebook album if you would like to see more pictures.
Have a wonderful week!
