Pancake Picnic

As we were trying to make final decisions about which agency to partner with, we discovered that both agencies we were interested in would require us to pay a first installment prior to the home study fee.  This is not what we were anticipating since most of the people we had spoken with who had adopted said that they began fundraising and applying for grants after they had completed their home study.  This motivated us to go ahead and get the ball rolling with additional fundraising ideas.  One of the easiest to throw together was our Pancake Picnic.

We invited all our neighbors but not too many were available to come.  I almost cancelled the event in hopes to reschedule for another night, but my sweet husband encouraged me not to.  We had six people come and because of their generosity we raised over $100!  Can you even believe it?!?  We are so thankful for how God continues to show his faithfulness to provide.

The request was made by a few people to have another pancake night, so who knows, maybe you'll be seeing another post like this one in a few weeks (or months) from now.
