Chris has started a new fundraiser for the adoption! He studied different kinds of art in college, including jewelry and metal work. So, when he saw a video about how to make rings out of quarters, he wanted to try it. They're really great, and you can read the imprint of the quarter on the inside and outside of the ring. I will post some pictures on here as soon as I figure out how!
We are going to have a link on this blog where you can order them, but right now he's working on making enough for the Homeschool Craft Fair next weekend. So, if you're in the St. Louis area on Saturday, November 10, come to West County Assembly of God Church, 13431 North Outer 40, Chesterfield, MO, 63017.
We also hope to be able to make some out of coins from different countries (Ethiopia, China, India, etc.) and Chris has played around with some coins he got in Guatemala last year.
Yet again, God has been faithful in bringing us our next fundraising opportunity!!
On a personal note, it looks like someone will be taking over my tutoring position in a few weeks, so that will be a big and exciting change for us. We also received our adoption numbers this month, and our siblings numbers went up by 3 spots again (i.e. we are further away from adopting a sibling group), but it makes me happy that it means that more families are making the decision to be open to siblings, so that more siblings can stay together.
Feel free to email me or Chris if you are just so excited to see the rings, and we can send you pictures.
"The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; Do not be discouraged." Deuteronomy 31:8
We started by documenting our Ethiopian adoption, which has now changed to pursuing a little boy waiting in China! We are trusting in God's plan and enjoying the journey.
