We're almost there!
The youth of our branch are so close to their goal of earning enough money to pay for a trip to the Fukuoka temple. They have worked so hard, and put a lot of time and effort into flea market sales, Dinner and Dance night for the adults, and putting in their own hard earned money. The members of our branch have been extremely generous in their donations. They have one last hurdle they need to get over, and that is earning the money to pay for the youth hostile and food. They are almost there!
The kids are offering these cute vinyl sayings that you can rub onto almost any surface. We can ship them anywhere in the U.S., and at only $10.00 you can buy one for yourself, and one for a friend! Please follow these instructions to order:
1. Pick a saying
2. Pick a color (white, brown, black, or red)
3. Email your order to fryarclan@live.com
3. Go to the paypal website, make a 'gift' payment to jhfryar@netzero.net. 100% of the donations will go to the youth! As soon as we have your payment we will cut and ship your vinyl. The max size is 11 x 11
"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord"
"Welcome"
"Always kiss me goodnight"
"Pray Always"
"Faith"
"Prayer"
"Hope"
"Love"
We are so excited to be a part of this and help our youth have the experience of being in the temple. It is a testimony builder they will never forget. Thank you for your support.

Thank You!
Thanks to all who have ordered, and paid! Your blocks should be on their way, or you should already have them! Please let us know if you got them, and if you love them! The kids could use some feedback..... (not to mention the Mom's!) We really do appreciate all of you. Thank you so much for supporting our kids in this great endeavor!

OOPS! NEW PRICES......
The shipping was slightly more than we originally planned on, so the new prices are as follows:
JOY Blocks-13.00
FALL Blocks-15.00
If you have already ordered and mailed a check than you don't need to send more. They are still a great gift for a great price, and the kids are getting every penny of the profits for their trip!
Thanks!

More Options For Blocks!
Here are some other choices of blocks. WE can wrap the bow around to where it looks like a present, or just put the bow on the first & the last block or just leave it plain. We have a lot of Christmas paper so hopefully you trust enough to just have fun & make you a cute set. There is still time to order!! We can ship anywhere! Thanks for all your help! We couldn't do it without you!

Blocks are flyin'!
Have you ordered your blocks yet? The kids have been working hard and there are some REALLY cute new designs! Mom's have been working hard also....(imagine supervising two 13 year old boys painting...) If you can, spread the word, we can ship anywhere in the U.S. Also, if you have a friend that is stationed overseas, we can ship there also! Start shopping for those teacher gifts, visiting teaching, or home teaching gifts.....or for yourself!

Getting to the Temple....
Most of us who were raised LDS have known that as soon as we were 12 years of age we would be able to attend the youth Temple trips and do baptisms.
I remember my first trip to the Seattle temple, I was nervous, excited, and wondering what I would find when I got there.
Porter was lucky and turned 12 before we moved overseas. He had the chance a couple of times to attend the Albuquerque temple. It was a four hour drive and we thought that was so far! Then we moved to Okinawa Japan. Okinawa lies approx. 900 miles from the southern tip of Mainland Japan. It takes around 3-4 hours by plane. That 3-4 hour drive does not seem like such a big deal anymore! When we approached the district about taking all of our youth to the temple, we were told that it would be too difficult. Thanks to one wonderful YW President, who wouldn't let it go that easy, and a branch presidency that got behind her full force, a trip has been planned for our branch! That same amazing YW Pres. has found us tickets that are not too expensive, and hopefully housing will be as easy to take care of. It's different when you are overseas. It's not as easy to call the Stake President in Tokyo and ask if our youth can be housed and fed for a weekend. So, between the airline tickets, housing, food, train tickets (to get around Tokyo), the cost will be approximately 300.00 per person. The kids are going to be doing some group fundraisers, but we are limited in what we can do on a military base, and even more so in the community. Because it is a very small plane that goes to Mainland, we need to have our money earned, and tickets purchased by the end of January. The trip is planned for the month of May. It would be so amazing if these kids could earn this money themselves! Thanks for looking, and check back for more pictures. The kids have a day off of school tomorrow, so they will be working hard all day and we will take some pictures!
