Both Hands Approval!!

We got a call yesterday from Both Hands that they approved our application and we are a "go" for our Both Hands project. Now we just gotta find our Widow. We have a woman in mind to help, but she isn't a "widow" per se. We still are going to help her but she may not be our project person. My BFF Ana may have some leads. Yay!

Dossier Sent...sorta...

Okay so I just found out that our dossier was sent to China on October 7, 2011. However, on October 10, 2011, our social worker called to inform us that China now wants 3 additional letters of recommendation. What?! I was instructed not to panic and that the letters, when received, would be faxed to China. I was sent the very specific list of what China wants to be included in the letter and I got them immediately out to a close personal friend, Eden's daycare and our pastor. (As per the instructions). We are waiting on our pastor's letter, but God love the man, he has already written one for us for the home study and it didn't have to be nearly this involved. He is working with our church administrator to get it done before she goes out of town on vacation. God really love her, she is such a help and a blessing to us. So hopefully all 3 letters will get there next week. So we are basically in the "waiting" game. 3 to 4 weeks is what we are looking at for the Log in Date now.

We also have applied for the Both Hands project through Lifesong for our fundraising opportunity. We hope to have that expedited and get the project done before the holidays. They said they would work with us on the timing if they could. So our prayers are in that direction. Other than that...nothing new or exciting to report. Guess I will see you back on this blog in 3 to 4 weeks.......
