Wow! What a week! This past Tuesday we had our Benefit Dinner our at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Selah, WA. and it was an amazing success. The Reach Team members decorated the hall and then worked all through the evening to bring food and drink to all 180 of the people who came to support this ministry. It took the team almost 7 hours to set-up the hall and then the 3 hours for the dinner, but I have to admit that I had more fun doing that than I could have imagined. It was so amazing to see how many people walked through the doors, faces I recognized and many I did not, ready to help a ministry that has truly changed lives. I've (Shea) never been to a benefit dinner for Reach, so I was completely astounded by the musical and theatrical abilities of the lovely Sevigny girls- they were amazing! But even more so than that, I was overwhelmed by the gratitude that people showed towards me and all the other team members for our commitment to Reach. I was just so excited they wanted to support us and so grateful that they were willing to take time out of their busy schedules to come spend an evening with us. So, I guess that goes to show that when we do the work of Christ, He will bless all those involved in so many more ways than we could have ever expected. I know that's the biggest thing I've learned this year, and I could not be more grateful than I am for all those who continue to support this ministry through their sponsorship and prayers. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are truly bringing God to young people through your help, and all of us here are praying for you always. May God bring many blessings to you and your family, and may the peace of Christ reign always in your heart,
Our Lady of Guadalupe
