Seriously....THANK YOU!!! I keep handing them out to travelers...but MORE arrive than I'm getting out...SO...I'm going to HOLD OFF on collecting them for a while UNTIL I slightly get caught up!! My dining room is OVER FLOWING to say the least!!! IF i've given you the address...then please go ahead and send what you have or want to send...BUT...other than that, I'm holding off for a while UNTIL I get these delivered!!!
Also, just have to show yall what a sweet reader sent me:
Can you read it?? It says, "Praying Wes Home" And, it's on a scrabble piece....Isn't that adorable.....
And, the back of the scrabble piece was a J-8.....How cool is that?? J for our last name..and we're a family of 8 with Wes!! So neat!! Thank you so much for this..I sincerely LOVE IT and wear it every day!!! So, my question....Are J's really worth 8 points?? Or was this specifically made for us?? Just wondering!! Such a GREAT necklace!! And....Can others order this necklace...I know someone is going to ask!! :)***Also, someone sent my Ethiopian Beauties some MATCHING SHIRTS!! Aren't they too cute!!! Can't wait for LL and Wes to wear these together some day....

"It's Tortilla Tuesday!!! Don't forget to send in your photos and stories to info@lifesongfororphans.org!
What difference does Lifesong Honduras really make in the lives of the 550 students we work with?
Nutritionally: Every day students at Lifesong Honduras receive 3 balanced meals. (Join us today for Tortilla Tuesday! Confused? Click HERE)
Educationally: The national average of students in public schools who go on to college in Honduras is around 1%. At Lifesong Honduras, about 40% of students go on to college!
Economically: In a country with a national unemployment rate of 70%, over 70% of Plan Escalon graduates have full-time jobs!
Spiritually: 2011 Vision Team member, Brian Kerz, speaks from what he saw first hand:
Isn't teaching the gospel message really what it's all about? And after leaving Lifesong Honduras to live on their own, 90% of Escalon graduates still consider themselves Christians and 85% continue to attend church on a regular basis!
Lives are being changed. Lives can continue to change because of the difference being made by people like you!
Our goal is:
We have two days left.
We need 63 commitments!
Will you help us continue to serve children in Honduras?
Can't commit to $30 p/mo? Give your best gift today... we can all make one sacrifice and come together as the body of Christ to make a big difference!
Contact us at info@lifesongfororphans.org to make your commitment AND be sure to tell them that we sent you from our blog! Your donation will be doubled thanks to a gracious giver!
Your support makes these stories possible!

ReplyDeleteokay - well, my son, Brooks collected cloth diapers for his birthday gifts instead of gifts. (see my blog) I've been meaning to email you about sending them. Just let us know when you are ready for us to start sending them again! :)
Praying for you to pass court the 1st and only time!
I'll be in Nashville mid July. If you are wanting to get more cloth diapers by then, please let me know and I would love to buy some for you! My husband and I live in Australia so I haven't been able to send you any yet, but we are travelling the USA in July and August and I would love to donate then if you have room for them!
ReplyDeleteFaithful reader who loves your passion and enjoys reading about your endeavors. We have adopted two little girls from Uganda and are in the process of adopting out third. We love your necklace that got sent your way and if you know more about the details please send them our way.
