Bringing China to Us!

It's been a long week, but I'm finally able to catch a moment to tell you what we've been up to.
Besides Logan doing music camp at our church this week,( which really is a big deal considering it's hard to get him to do anything,) we are a host family for 2 kids from Hong Kong who are in a English immersion program here in Naples. They will stay with us for 3 weeks! Olivia is 14 years old and Sam is 11 years old. Through the week, they are gone all day until 6:00. The kids are enjoying each other and we're hoping we will learn from each other also!

Back on the Radio!

This past Tuesday, Logan and I went to Praise FM to drop off Yoo-Hoo and a couple of hot dogs to Arnie, who is the radio personality that has had me on his program previously. Those are his favorites and it's the least we could do for all they've done for us! Well, I was invited back to the studio Friday, (today), to talk about how much money we've raised thus far and how we did at the rummage sale. So this time, I took Scott and Logan to be with me. Logan thought it was really neat. They even asked him a few questions on the air! Now he wants to work in radio when he grows up! We took a picture of him ,with his headset on , with my camera phone but not sure how to transfer the picture to computer. It really was cute, though.
Another awesome thing that has happened thanks to the radio station is a letter I received yesterday. A gentleman that had called in to donate when I was on last time sent me a check and with it a letter saying he has a Bible study group that would like to help us raise more money for our travel expenses. Please call him for more info. So, of course, I called him and he said they would like to have a carwash fundraiser for us and he would love for me to speak at his church about Meigan and what we are trying to do! It seems God keeps opening more windows (or doors) for us ,because I never could've imagined things working out like they have without him putting the right people in our lives at just the right time.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find;
Knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds;
And to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

Matthew 7:7-8

Rummage Sale Pics from Sat., July 8

Here are some pictures of our Rummage Sale on July, 8th. It was a lot of work, but well worth it as we made over $1400.00. This, along with contributions, gives us a grand total of over $2000 now.

Trip to Disney 6/14/06

Here is a picture of Logan and Jennifer that was taken at Disney World on June 14, 2006. They had such a good time. They even rode Thunder Mountain this year, one of the "big rides". Very exciting. Jennifer can hardly wait to take Mei Mei to Disney World to see Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

Big Radio Debut!

What an awesome experience this was! I had faxed our event info. to our local Christian radio station, Praise FM, hoping they would announce at some point about the rummage sale. I got a phone call saying they will announce our event for a week and they would like me to come on the air and talk about the rummage sale and the adoption. Mom went with me. I was pretty nervous! He (Arnie) asked how much we were trying to raise, questions about Meigan,and his host, Karole, asked questions as well. I talked about 20 min. During that time, 4 people had called in to donate money. It was hard to go back on the air without crying. Words cannot express how emotional that made me feel! The account we started, (thanks to Anita and Jack),
had quadrupled that day! God definately had his hand in this one! Thank you Praise FM, we are forever grateful for what you have done for us!
