support update
Obviously we are here! We made it and had almost all of our out-going expenses covered. Right now we are at 99% of our monthly support committed, but due to circumstances, some of our supporters aren’t able to keep up monthly, or some never started, so we are at closer to 94%. So…it is still not too late to join our support team!! We need about $4500 US dollars a month to live here and save for yearly expenses that come up. We are hoping that that will be enough each month, which will vary due to the exchange rate. This last summer it was pretty low; right now it is higher as many ex-pats leave for the Christmas season so are exchanging money back the other way. We will be working on keeping on top of the rates so that we can exchange at the best time. If you would like to join our support team, whether monthly, quarterly, yearly, or a special gift to help through the “drier” times, just print out the response form that is linked on the right and send in. We will get the info.

I hope that lots of people who read your blog read my post! Steve and I started supporting Brian and Kelly Jo last May. We don't send a lot but it's what we felt we could do at the time. Over time we hope to increase the amount. I just want to say that it's so easy to spend $25 or $50 dollars a month on silly stuff like coffees, eating out, or things like that. Why not skip one family trip to eat out a month and send that money to the Kallevigs instead? I'm sure any and all support is welcomed! Also, like me, you can have the money automatically withdrawn from your account. It makes giving so easy!
I guess that's all I have to say. I miss you guys and love your updates!! :-)
