Our schedule changes. Changes are updated under the schedule heading. Ira ran a fever the night they were to spend the night with friends. We hope to reschedule it soon. She had still not completely recovered. Thankfully Rita and the rest of the children have not gotten sick.
The girls have been with us 3 weeks. They are blending in with the family. We have had some great times.

Sponsor?

We would like the girls to go to an aquarium, zoo, muesum, and other outings while they are here. They have requested a water park. If anyone would like to sponsor the girls or a girl for and outing please let me know.
We did receive donations to bring the girls here. We have not received any other donations for the hosting program this year.
If you would like to sponsor and outfit: shorts and a tank $20. We have bought them swimsuits, sweater, belt, earings and etc. They need a carry on suitcase (the largest allowed).
We have recently adopted 3 children. We have 4 biological. Now we are hosting 2 orphans. Yes, we have 9 children living in the house for summer.
Ephesians 2:10
We truly believe God called us to do this. From all we have been through we have even more faith in God. We do not doubt He will provide.
Our God is amazing. His blessings are endless.
