In August, I’ll be going to New Orleans with a Mission group from Hosanna Lutheran Church of Mankato. We are flying south to help with the Katrina clean up. We will be staying 7 days at a place called Camp Restore, New Orleans This will be my first mission trip, and only my 3rd flight. The group I am going with i will meet tomorrow, I think, as of right now I only know Pastor Steve and his wife Mary, which is exciting as well, to go down south with a group of strangers!

I’ve been raising money to afford the flight, and the cabin costs for the last two weeks. I am so grateful for the help of out pouring love I have received. For anyone still interesting in donating to our cause I’ll be selling 8×10 portraits of my award winning print, San Antonio Winter at the studio. All donations of words, money and hugs I promise to spread across the country in honor of you, those of you who motivate me every day. God Bless

P.s this means I will be out of the office from August 11-18th.
