Its Raining Gingerbread Houses

Thanks to everyone, I surpassed my goal of 100 gingerbread houses and was blessed with 118 gingerbread houses. In all, we had three major drop-offs - Orange County, Church, and Friends. In Orange Country, we dropped off thirty-one houses and most of them were assembled. The largest drop-off was at my church with a grand total of forty-eight gingerbread houses. The third major gingerbread house drop-off was with neighbors and friends; the grand total of that drop-off was thirty-nine gingerbread houses.

How did I receive so many orders for gingerbread houses? In the beginning of November, I had eighty-two gingerbread houses sold. I thought I did pretty well and was satisfied with that number. God had different plans. About two weeks before I delivered the Orange County drop-off, three people asked if they could still buy a gingerbread house. Shocked and surprised, I added three more gingerbread houses on my list. A couple days after my first drop-off, I received several calls requesting gingerbread houses. Again I was shocked. Orders for gingerbread houses kept flowing in like the water over a dam. This happens a couple more times and I had lost count of how many gingerbread houses I sold. After counting them, imagine how baffled I was, I had surpassed my goal. I want to thank all my neighbors, friends, and my church for being such a great support for my mission trip. Yes, I am tired of pounding gingerbread into molds :).
