Microscope, Garage Sale and Tshirts!!!

Man!  This has been an awesome journey so far!  I am so excited to be returning to my home away from home this July, and we are so close...but so far (if I may be cliche!!)!!
Right now we have some pretty awesome stuff goin on as a team!  I will give each one a little shpiel(no idea how to spell that but you get the idea!!)

1. My dad's lab (St. Joseph) just donated a microscope!!!!  This is something we have been praying for, and Jason has been patiently waiting for the Lord!  We are all so excited about this.  Why does he need a microscope you ask???  Well, let me inform you!!
One of the major diseases Jason encounters is Malaria.  And while he does have test strips to test for the most common strain, there are 4 different species These are: Plasmodium falciparumP. vivax, P. ovale and P. malariae(yep I googled these!)
There are test strips for all of these, however they are quite expensive, and running a ministry doesn't exactly mean rollin in the dough!  In order to provide the most thorough testing for this absolutely preventable and absolutely easily treatable (easily I mean a couple of bucks per kid, and they go from 105 deathly ill fever to running and playing the next day! Yes people, its that easy!!) he needs a microscope to be able to easily and quickly examine the blood for the different strains of malaria.
This is going to take their malaria program to the next level!!  So THANK YOU St. Joseph Regional Health Center in Caldwell for your awesome donation!!!!  Saving lives not only in Caldwell but now in Uganda!!
We will need Slides and Stain to take with us also, so be praying for that!!
**Here are a few pictures of the beautiful scope!!




2. GARAGE SALE!!!!!!!
We are having a garage sale this Saturday at my house!!!!  
2602 Hollow Oak Cir, Bryan TX 77802
I'm not sure what all we have, but it's going to be good stuff!!  We will also have some sweet girls making lemonade for donations towards the trip!!  You don't want to miss it!!!
If you can't make it, but you may have something to donate, let me know ASAP!!  We will come get it or you can drop it off!!

3. TSHIRTS!!!

These shirts are awesome!  Not only would you be helping raise funds but you would be spreading the word about healing faith!!!  You can buy through one of our team members (payable to Brazos Fellowship) or directly on here!!!  We even have kids sizes!!
