WOW!

Our Both Hands project was on Saturday and it. Was. AMAZING. We were hoping to have between 30-40 people show up to help--but we had 54!!! Everyone worked so hard and just smiled the whole time. It was such a good work to do for Ms. Karen, but I think we were all blessed as much as she was at the end of the day.

We are so very thankful to all of our friends and family that sent out support letters, that continue to share our video to spread the word, and that gave us support as we took on this project. It was a lot of work-but so very worth it. There were bonds made on Saturday and friendships that grew deeper. There was so much joy and laughter. We watched our kids become servants and begin to understand how important it is to think beyond ourselves.

Here is the video and a few behind the scenes shots

And....in other big news-over the weekend another $1400 has been donated via mailed checks to our home.

 I have to tell you all how amazing this is-- we have the orphanage fee that is due no later than 7/7. This fee is $5800. So with the added $1400 coming in, the Both Hands project has completely paid for our orphanage fee (plus a couple of hundred to go towards other fees). We should not be surprised at this point, but again and again I am completely amazed-every time we have more fees due, a way is made to pay them. It may be through donations, through a grant, or through overtime pay, but God provides. Every. Single. Time.

Thank you for your generous hearts, thank you for loving us and loving our boy. We are on the countdown-likely less than 60-70 days until we meet our Luke!!

Much Love, 

Aaron and Sarah
