David, Adam, and I made it back to sunny San Diego. We were pretty cold in NJ...but look at the colors in the trees. It was beautiful there. I never get to see the changing of the colors, unless I travel. While in NJ, we were able to share with so many people about Bring Me Hope. People warmly received us and were really interested in what BMH is doing. We even had one family say they feel called to adopt!!!
Kristen and I stayed at the Padden's house (you can see there daughter in the picture). We felt so loved and taken care of by their family. It was just like being at home. They have 5 girls and 2 boys too! They just adopted Eli, one of the kids that was in the preschool that David and I taught at PHF 4 years ago. I love to see children who were once orphans in a family. They are forever changed. Eli came home 8 weeks ago.
We had a benefit concert as the final event of our tour. The band, Unspoken came and did the music. I was able to speak with some of the band members while we were eating dinner. I was so blessed by how friendly they were and interested in what is going on with Bring Me Hope. The band was able to draw new people to the benefit that otherwise would not have heard about BMH. As a result, 10 people filled out "Go Cards" expressing interest in volunteering Summer 2008.
Now that I'm back home, I'm working on planning future tours, our winter retreat, and starting to think about Summer Camp 2008.
