Announcements Sent

This week I have truly felt bless.  Last Saturday Tim and I sent announcements out to our closest friends and family to announce that we are officially in the adoption process.  Our goal was to spread the word about the Good Wishes Quilt as well as ask for prayers and support through this time of waiting.  The response was outstanding.  Many people had congratulations and questions showing that they were interested and cared.  The abundance of love in the world is truly amazing.

On top of our personal excitement, Tim and I also participated in the youth 30 Hour Famine last weekend.  We counseled some on Friday and then all day Saturday.  There were 5 beautifully hearted young individuals who gave their time, efforts, and food for the weekend.  It was so uplifting to see the love and dedication to helping others these individuals showed as they learned about the hungry in Ethiopia and other areas, baked in their hungry for a bake sale in order to raise money to help out, and spent time at a nursing home playing games with the residence there.  It was a wonderful weekend.
