That's awesome!! My husband and I we...Really? That's awesome!! My husband and I were talking about it, and were like, you know we're going to want to do this again - maybe we should just bring home two at once, which will save us a lot in travel expenses and stuff. Ahh, why couldn't you live near me? :)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613765541160592353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939066510930483952.post-91421081374983516102011-11-12T20:53:22.392-08:002011-11-12T20:53:22.392-08:00Wow, how exciting.

RR usually responds really quickly so you should here back soon.bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272107990407148559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939066510930483952.post-38333663389588653262011-11-12T19:22:12.122-08:002011-11-12T19:22:12.122-08:00We are still at the very beginning stages.

We have talked with an agency and have our official application we are ready to fill out - but were waiting for some $$...which now we have so we can submit it. I just sent an inquiry to RR today about two little girls (Maribel & Emilie) - who are listed in the same region, and we're interested in potentially bringing them both home. I haven't quite figured out how the whole committing thing works - since you have to be working with an agency - but since I don't know for sure what country the girls are in, I'm not sure if our agency works in their country. Does that all make sense? :) Hopefully, I'll hear back from RR soon - so my questions will be answered!!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613765541160592353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939066510930483952.post-43162880349260613972011-11-12T18:47:36.768-08:002011-11-12T18:47:36.768-08:00Those are also 3 of my favorite books, I put them ...Those are also 3 of my favorite books, I put them on the giveaway because I want others to read them.

Did I tell you that in your give away you're giving away 3 of my favorite books EVER...Radical, Crazy Love & The Hole in Our Gospel. All three of those books have had a HUGE impact on our lives and how we live!!! <br /><br />We'll be using the Advent Conspiracy format of Worship Fully, Spend Less, Give More and Love All - as the basis for our church's Christmas season Missions offering.

It reminded me of advent conspiracy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9IN0W3gjnNE<br />When my son was 11 he was convicted to give up his Christmas presents and have the money donated for clean water in third world countries. That was two years ago and our Christmas season has never been the same. We have been a family that remembers to give, and not give in to the temptations of consumerism.bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272107990407148559noreply@blogger.com
