An UPDATE regarding our trip to the Navajo Mission. We are only $1000 from our goal to make big strides in improving the HVAC equipment at the Mission. Every little bit helps, and THANK YOU to those who have already donated!

Between financial gifts and the donation of two furnaces (!) New Vision has committed to the trip. Now that we know the scope of the resources available, we can share an update:

Our first priorities:
Delivering equipment to the Mission property
Making repairs on equipment that cannot be replaced on this trip
Installing up to two furnaces as the temperature allows
Producing a complete and detailed report of all HVAC equipment to create a project plan for a second trip in milder temperatures.

Due to weather (some equipment is in attics) there will likely be a need for a second visit. Because of this, our HVAC techs shortened their trip by a few days to save vacation time for the next trip. Pray that they will be successful in completing the priorities above.

There is still about a $1000 need to cover the costs of getting the equipment on the property. All the support members of the team have given their own funds to travel to the Mission, but there are expenses that remain related to transporting equipment and tools, and covering basic costs for our HVAC techs.

We think it is amazing that because of generosity and little creativity, we have made big strides in this project.

The letter has links for those who would like to give. Gifts are tax-deductible. Every little bit helps!

Try this from Rob Walker's book "The Art of Noticing" -- Take a one-hour walk. Pay attention to the color in your surroundings. What colors do you become aware of first? What are the colors that reveal themselves more slowly? What colors do you observe that you did not expect? What color relationships do you notice? Do colors appear to change over time?
