Passports are here :)

Madison’s passport arrived, and we couldn’t be more excited! She, however, isn’t thrilled about the photo she had to use. Have you taken a passport photo recently? The only acceptable facial expressions seem to be a scowl or a smirk. Madison’s photo is somewhere in between—ha!

Getting to this point was a bit of an ordeal for the Denny family. I started the process in November by researching how to get a passport for her, and from there, the steps began. Each step took about two weeks to complete! Between working around holiday hours, my teaching schedule (which makes it hard to leave during business hours), and our family’s hectic routine, it felt nearly impossible. Our schedules have always been busy, but they’ve never been as much of an obstacle as they were during this process. Thankfully, we made it happen, and now Madison is proudly holding her ticket to global missions.

FUNDRAISER UPDATE: We’ve successfully raised nearly half the cost of her trip! Through T-shirt and bracelet sales, we’ve collected $1,030 so far. Thank you so much for your support! We still have bracelets available and plan to keep selling them, so please spread the word. Additionally, we’ll be launching another fundraiser campaign next month—stay tuned for more details.
