Fund raiser results

We had a great night last night with about 100 people or so that came to the dinner. Everyone seemed to have fun and enjoy the dinner and the auction. We had 149 of the 151 items bought. We raised $5,300 net from the dinner and auction. One of the really neat things that happened last night was some friends of ours who have been dating for a while, the man won the nicest auction item we had, a diamond / tanzanite ring during the live part of our auction. He then came to the middle of the crowd and asked for the microphone and proposed to her right in the middle of the auction. It was just one more example of how God is doing some special things through all of his work on our journey. We pray that he will continue to get the glory and to touch lives all around us. We thank everyone who came and who was involved. It was like getting married times 2 as I told some of our friends there last night. Wow was that a lot of work and so many people did so many things, we are truly grateful for all of you. Our prayer is that God will richly reward you for your acts of selfless love and sacrifice.
