I also met a very sweet lady last night named Evonne who loved our Africa shirts and struck up a long conversation with us. I was wearing a pair of my Ugandan beads we're selling and she loved them and bought them right off my neck :-) Also several of the children's school friends joined us and one of them bought Averey's necklace off her neck too! Thanks to you guys for your sweet support. Also a big thanks to Chick-fil-A for hosting - you guys are great!
On another note, I received an email today from a new friend who lives close by and is also adopting. She didn't give details but said that she's in tears because she fears something has gone awry with their adoption and she asked for prayer. Please pray for this sweet family that God will smooth out the rough edges and help them feel His presence and sweet peace while they're hurting right now. We're praying that everything works out. I'll refer to her as the DV family. There is great power in prayer so I thank you in advance for remembering this family.
Blessings,
Valerie
