...well...we're trying to anyway! 'Tis a lot harder than I thought:)
BUT...it's been a fabulous week. We started the 180 to 100 campaign with $400 in our http://adopttogether.org/thekirklands/ account.
Donations started coming in...roughly four per day! The thrill of getting that email notice of another donation is AMAZING!!
By the middle of the week, we had received the official Letter of Acceptance, which meant more paperwork had to be filled out, and our next payment of $2500 was due. We were $580 short of making that payment.
On Thursday, we issued a challenge to our facebook family and friends...to see if we could raise enough money to keep the process moving.
The money came in. We weren't surprised that it did. God is clearly driving this process and so we knew He would provide the funding. But maaaan....whatta rush!!!
We've heard from high school friends, missionaries across the world, college friends, previous coworkers, new friends and coworkers, family, church family, and complete strangers!!
The Lord is knitting together a community for Ava-Yin like none we could ever have imagined. I hope you all are experiencing the joy of being on this journey with us. Love you!
