James 1:27 exhorts us to care for the orphans and widows.
The exhortation is given to all Christians, but what that looks like lived out is different for everyone. Some are called to adopt! Some are called to encourage and visit, investing time! Some are called to support monetarily!

Please know that we have appreciated all of your prayer support and are grateful for the many who have invested time and money of your own in a young man's life who you did not know. We hope you will meet him some day soon. He will never know the amount and sacrifice made on his behalf, but I pray he will feel and truly know the love and acceptance from you! God bless!

August 8th-First day Home!

Home late Saturday night.
Casual Sunday morning with the kids coming by for coffee and cinnamon rolls on the deck.  
We were soooooo happy to see them all!  Six of the 7 kids together!  Wow, and I wasn't awake or with it enough to get a picture!  We were thrilled to catch Tyler and Ana and Isaac before they left for the coast!  
Goody bags from China included collections we gleaned from the hotels we were in.... 
...slippers, soaps, shampoo, combs, and yes, Travis, that's a toothbrush!
Moon pies....handmade scissors for the guys, necklaces for the girls, an elephant for Isaac...
Lindsey and Levi....gonk-ulating 
(Paul's word for using the translator!)
Universal language of Bubbles!

POOL and SPLOOSH BALLS are a HIT!

Sophie hides behind Travis

They threw it so much, it came apart!

Amie prefers to fly through the air rather than sploosh balls.

And the morning and the evening were the first day.
