Fundrasing Update

We have a few new updates on fundraising. Community Home Dairy here in Missoula graciously donated six gallons of ice cream for our ice cream social; what a great blessing. Also, our first garage sale did okay. Saturday we made a decent amount, but the fun thing was, one of the couples who stopped by was a Christian couple needing someone to draft/design a new entry for their house....how convinet uh? Sunday, however, we only had one person show up so Jared decided to calculate our dollar per hour pay for Sunday and we only made $1.36 an hour. I told him that next time we should maybe skip that statistic. haha This weekend we have another garage sale, but this one we actually have an ad for. The ad is in a smaller local paper since the Missoulian costs $26 for an ad, but hopefully it will bring in a few more people. Several friends have been donating things for us to sell in the sale and that is greatly appreciated. Also, Jared just got an email from a friend of ours who has been interested in buying some left-over tile we had from building our house, and it seems they are ready for it. Good timing uh? These have all been nice small but very helpful contributions, but I've saved the best for last. The other day I went to the mail box and found a piece of mail from our Medical Center. I figured it was just a bill for Aspen's latest check up, but instead it turned out to be a refund check for $657.00! I had no idea that it was coming so I called just to make sure it wasn't too good to be true and apparently our insurance came back and paid a huge claim that they had denied at first so they owed us money. Unfortunately we can't use all of this for the adoption, but a large portion of it will cover our application fee; yeah! God is so cool in His timing. I knew He would provide for us, but it is so fun to see how creatively it happens. That's about all for now, but please keep praying for our next two weekend fundraisers. Thanks for all your support.
