One step closer - First Fundraiser!

First and foremost, Merry Christmas to everyone from the Lawsons!

We have had a very blessed week so far!  Our home study paperwork came in the mail, which means we were able to submit our paperwork to US Immigration!  Please pray for expedience in this process, as our next step will be to submit our dossier to Ethiopia.  We are very excited, but are also reserved in the fact that our Little Lion Man may be spending Christmas alone, without his family.  We pray that we are soon connected and one less child is without a family.

We also celebrate the birth of our oldest tomorrow!  She will be 15, and is quickly maturing into a beautiful young lady.  We will soon be sending her off to college, which is a hard pill to swallow.  We have been blessed with her and look forward to many more years to come.

We would also like to announce our first adoption fundraiser.  We are quickly moving through the process and are trying to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to payments.  To help cover some of our upcoming cost we will be selling puzzle pieces and hope to have enough support to finish this 500 piece puzzle.

The cost of each puzzle piece is $10.  We will write the name of each person on the back of each puzzle piece and frame both sides in glass when complete.  We plan to hang this in his room so he can see all of the people who helped bring him home!

Anyone can help support this.  Buy one for yourself, one for each member of your family, one for a friend, one as a memory for someone, or if your broke go halfies with someone else who is broke!

There are a few ways to participate. Cash and check are accepted.  Make checks out to Erick and Laurie Lawson.

1. See Laurie or Erick and sign up in person.
2. Mail us your gift.  Cash or check. (Message us for our address if you need it.)
3. Donate to our church (see the fundraising tab on our blog), but make sure to label the gift as part of the Lawson puzzle fundraiser so we can get your name on the puzzle piece.

We also have extra participation sheets if anyone would like to sell some of our puzzle pieces for us!  All you have to do is have them sign the sheet and collect the money.  Please let us know if you would like a sheet.

We are so appreciative of those who have already given and praise God that he continues to provide.

If you have any questions please send us a message!
