The Exchange

Last night some ladies from Powerhouse had a fund raiser for us called "the exchange" everyone invited brought purses,  jewelry, belts etc... and got to bring home some new things. I thought it was a really cute idea. To raise money they had a small cover charge, raffles, photo ops. It was amazing and so, so fun. They asked me to speak about what we do. I should pause and say I love writing. I love sitting at my blog taking my time to carefully write out my thoughts. When I pause to think about the next thing I'm going to say I do not type um or and uh. So I'm much more eloquent in print than in person ;) Public speaking is very difficult for me just in general. It was really only by the grace of God that I did not faint or get completely tongue tied. I made it! and I spoke for 12 minutes! yikes! I got a little too wordy there (yet another reason I prefer writing to public speaking. ha)

One of the fun things for me last night was getting to talk to Viola (hi *waves*) I'm pretty sure we met before but it was fun to talk to her (as short as it was) because she reads this blog :) I have to admit sometimes I think that only a few people read this and it is fun for me when people talk to me about it. I also love it when people leave comments! So if you read and think I don't know you well enough for you to comment that is so not true! I would love to know who you are. So even if we've never met please, let me know what you think about whatever I'm talking about. If you want to email me (or jose) directly my email is jkmission2peru@gmail.com If you have questions about the mission or anything else feel free to ask. I love it! seriously. Comment, email, go nuts :) I promise we don't bite
