So I have never been able to get video to post, I think its primarily because at home our internet is too slow and it just never loads, so since I'm not at home thought I'd give it a try. Hope you enjoy this of Sammy at the fair riding the monster trucks.

Lifesong for Orphan
Well we were approved for the fundraiser both hands with Lifesong for Orphans, and we are really excited about this. So now we have to get to work on this project. It is called both hands because it says one hand for the orphan and one for the widow, sure you can guess this is right out of the bible:
"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world."
So now we get 10 people who will commit to do two things:
1. Send out sponsorship letters.
2. Work one day on a widow's home.
So the way this works is when we get the ten people who are willing to work on a widow's home we pick a day and then send out letters as kind of a work-a-thon, people sponsor the work by sending donations. The cool thing is they send them directly to Lifesong, so they get a tax deduction and lifesong deals with all the finances...then in the end we receive funds toward our adoption...so please
pray with us that we can gather 10 people to help us take on this project!

NC State Fair
Well the State Fair is going on right now, which means a lot of things for our family. Primarily it means Travis has a little more work than usual as the Chaplain of the fair, but also a lot of fun things
that go along with it. For instance we are able to go as a family, which is a lot of fun, we usually go on Senior Citizen day as it is less crowded and get there early to ensure that...
Our schedule is :
1. Go by Campers on Mission-this is one of the arms of the fair that serves the workers of the fair with free food, clothing, haircuts, blood pressure and the good news of Jesus everyday.
2. Go by and see all the animals.
3. Ride on the rides.
4. Eat our snack lunch if you want to call it that:) (some of its contents are kettle corn, fried candy bar, caramel apple, cotton candy)-so not our healthiest lunch-but apples are good for you:)
5. Go home for naps
