Greetings everyone!
(Check out previous blog post for details).
Just wanted to give a brief update on our progress (and when I say brief, trust me, it's brief!) and then reveal a few fun things about the tournament prizes and raffles.
Update: We have not moved up on the waiting list. So, we are still at 93.
See. I told you. Very brief.
....But of course, you may be asking why haven't they moved up?...(the not so brief part)...Basically, for two months in the fall, regional and national courts are closed in Ethiopia. So, no paperwork is being processed. Also, there could be months that we don't move up simply because there just weren't any kids placed with families (sad). Pray for more families to be able to take care of these orphans and welcome them into a family that they otherwise may never have been able to join!
Also, just throwing this out there...on October 19th, a local adoption ministry, Chosen for Life Ministries, is having an adoption conference. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it, but if you are interested in adoption (or how to support friends and family that are adopting) you should go! If you do, take good notes and let me know what you learned!
Ok, now for the Corn Hole details...
I've decided leading up to this Sunday (the day of the tournament), I am going to slowly present the raffle baskets! Get excited, they are going to be good...
But before revealing the first of many cool raffle prizes, we have made the final decision for the prize for the 3rd place teams. (Drum roll please.....)
A $10 gift card for each player to your local Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robins!!
And now, without further ado, the revealing of the first raffle basket:
--Coffee theme--
Fresh roasted Ethiopian coffee from 2Story Coffee House,
2 hand thrown mugs from a local potter,
and other delicious coffee treats!
Signing off for now...check again tomorrow for the next revealing of the raffle prizes...
