Homestudy Goal Met!

Woohoo!  We have raised our homestudy fee of $2000. You--our friends, family, and supporters-- have prayed for us, donated, and purchased shirts and bracelets to show your support. We can't thank you enough!!

Our final homestudy interview is this Thursday, May 30. Our social worker will be with us, and we will video conference with the Central European specialist in Birmingham, Alabama. 

We were privileged to lead the service this past Sunday, May 26, at Zion Rest Baptist Church in Waynesboro. Gareth led the singing and brought the message from Ephesians 1. The church members there are very sweet and generous, as they bought some shirts and bracelets, as well as presented us with a love offering for our adoption fund.

This Friday, we should be getting the "kite" and "world map" shirts from the printer. Many of you have pre-ordered, and we will begin mailing them the following week (June 3). We have shirts going to many places in the United States, from Washington state to Key West, Florida, and lots of places in between. If you live in the Hattiesburg area, we will contact you to meet up. If you did not order one but want one, email me and I'll get it to you!

We also have some "Mississippi" shirts left, so contact us if you want one!

Whatever shirt you chose, please send us a photo of you wearing your shirt!  You COULD be featured on our blog! Send us a photo of you wearing your shirt in your hometown, at a famous landmark, or in a place that holds significance for you. Email the picture to kimberlybonner528@gmail.com :)

Here's our cousin, Mark Wheat, sporting our adoption T while studying in Greece this summer!

We are excited to be leading the evening service at Liberty Baptist Church in Waynesboro, MS, on June 9. 

Today is our 2 year anniversary! It is fun to think that hopefully next year when we are celebrating our 3 year anniversary we could be in Hungary or on our way home from Hungary with some sweet kiddos! 

Hungary Fun Fact of the Day: Hungary's top culinary delicacy is Libamaj Zsirjaban (goose liver fried in its own fat).


Thanks again! Our journey is not over, as there will be many more praises and requests down the road. We covet your prayers and support.

Newk's & T-shirt designs!

Monday night at Newk's was so much fun! The employees were amazed at how many people showed up. They had never seen such a huge turn out for a fundraiser! Your purchases through Newk's provided $430 towards our adoption fund. THANK YOU!! 
Here are just a few pictures of those people who came out!
