In the spring of this past year, Makenzie did a shoe drive at Lutheran South Academy to deliver new and used shoes to the poor of Quito, Ecuador. When it was all said and done, the drive produced over 2200 pairs of shoes!
After she was killed, our family decided to finish what she started. Kellie, Nathan, Maddie and I will be traveling to Quito during the thanksgiving week:
Nov. 18- 20 Houston. Nov. 20 – 27 Quito, Ecuador Nov. 27 – Dec. 1 HoustonPlease pray for us the following prayers …
- Prayers that God will be glorified as we share chapel messages at LSA and hearts would be turned to him
- God would go ahead of us and prepare the people who are to receive shoes from us.
- Makenzie’s “mission” to provide “soles” for people to turn their “souls” to Christ.
- Safety in traveling the streets of Quito
- Any attempt of Satan’s to sabotage our trip would be bound.
- Good health for all four of us.
- That Nathan and Madeline would be protected yet have their eyes open to the needs of others.
- Any fears that we have would be comforted by God’s peace.
- Strength to handle our emotions as we do this without Makenzie.

Todd, Makenzie really did have a giving heart didn’t she? Say Hi to Brad and Sandy from the Starfeldts.
We’ll be praying for each one of you and for the success of Makenzie’s mission. Satan doesn’t stand a chance!
Love you all,
Erin and Robert
Thanks Erin & Robert. Love you.
