On Sunday, the women at United Evangelical Free Church gave Jeannette one more shower and, again, just blew us away with their generosity. What ever happened to just giving one small outfit or toy??? That would have been more than sufficient but many people insisted on two or even three pieces of clothing. But, hey, we'll take it! We were also thrilled to get more diapers and cash to buy a car seat. We never could have imagined when we discarded our last child safety seat how expensive they would become! Of course, then again, we never thought we'd have need for one until grandchildren come along . . . and we'll be traveling by hovercraft by then, won't we?
In addition to friends from church, Jeannette was pleased that some other friends--including Tanya, who has adopted Brenna from China already, and Laurie, who has a little boy from Russia, and Beth, who is traveling to China at the same time as us to get Sophie--were able to come. It was nice to see the support from women all around the church and how excited they are to have us bring MelodyJoy into the community.
