volunteers/small town
so what does one do when they are on vacation, support the locals you go were the peoples people are. We stopped by this shop run by volunteers, this man has two kids he is adopting from Brazil. From what he said he has to keep them there in till they are of age around 14 so they can deside for them self if they what to stay were they were born or leave there country. so he must travels 3 months then back home and then 3 months again he must have 6 month there when adopting. This little shop also support 35 family they are getting a web page up soon so check back i will do another post on them later, so i can give them a Mr Linky love.
the owner also has health problems and is trying to sale the shop ah how God works, will you join me in prayer for him and his family. The pic behind the lady in this pic above is of the 35 family when i asked why? He said "i went on a mission trip once, i came home and told my wife now she works so i can do this". I was very blessed on this last trip. People walking the walk there words are matching there actions. Ah beauty like the tourmaline stones can come in a ray of colors there beauty will be for ever in my mind. It is those whole in the wall places that you find the best gems.
this little town is in Oregon it is a town my father spent the last 30 + year in. the winters and summers are a great place for out door sports the falls are full of color. I once owned a home in this town but God had another plain. If i get a chance i will visit this shop again and volunteer, a few days of my vacation. Then i will have all the time i need to do what i love to do shop in a little shop in a little town and build new memories. talk soon.
