Some updates...

At our garage sale a few months ago,

I met a sweet woman name Denise.

She has a love for Africa, and asked if she could

call me later to learn more about Kolfe.

I love this woman's heart...

at the end of the conversation, she said,

"Give me an assignment, what can I do?"

What a blessing it was to hear those words!

So... fast forward a few months, and Denise

called to say that she has been collecting things

for us to take in our suitcases...

She's been shopping at yard sales for clothing

for us to take for the orphanages, and 

a doctor friend of her's had given her $100

to buy cans of formula for a baby orphanage

we want to visit while in Ethiopia.

Praise God! What a huge blessing

to the workers & children at this orphanage!

We are so excited about Denise

and her partnership with us!

One more update I am long

overdue for posting....

A sweet homeschooling friend of mine,

Juli, has been partnering with us since I

began fundraising for my first trip to Kolfe.

She has been such a blessing to us!

Juli is a major bargain hunter, in fact,

she has a fabulous website

 called Bargain Believer

that is spreading pretty fast.

In November, she showed up

at our door with these....

59 soccer shirts!

These FANTASTIC SHIRTS

were donated

to the boys by JCPENNY.

How cool is that!?!?!

I can't wait to deliver these to

 Gladney Adoption Agency

 for the orphanages they support.

(Including Kolfe)

I am going to send you to

Juli's site to read the rest of the story

(click on this link)

of how these fabulous shirts,

and a check for our trip, came to be

 in our home awaiting
their journey to Ethiopia.

While you are at it, you just might

pick up a bargain or two!
