The Phone Call....

A huge thank you to each of you for
leaving comments here and for sending
letters to EHM to nominate the Saunders!

Please go to Linn's Blog to read about
their BIG PHONE CALL!

Beyond all the letters and comments,
I know I can safely speak for the Saunders
saying that they most appreciate
the way heaven continues to be flooded
with prayer by all their
friends and family during this very
difficult time.

YIPPEE JESUS, as Linn would say!!

News, and not the good kind

In case you haven't seen Linn's most recent blog post please go there to read it.

Continue praying for this family. I can only imagine the state I would be in if this was me in their place, and I know that they are having a very difficult time.

Now is the TIME!!

Hello everyone!

As most of you know the Saunders family currently are living in a rental home. It works, and it is a place to lay their heads, but not really a place where they dreamed of making family memories, especially as their little ones get settled in.

At this point they still have no idea what will happen with their insurance, no decision has been made, and you can imagine how that feels.

All of them just want to go home....but sadly, there still is no home, and there isn't even one in the works, they have no idea what is going to happen.

I'm asking each of you to pray about this, pray specifically for a home, and a home quickly!

I sent an application from China, Fed Ex directly to EHM. I know many of you have also. To date the Saunders haven't heard anything from them, not one word.

Is there a way we can bug EHM again? Can we make calls, letters, emails.....anything asking for them to consider the applications sent in for the Saunders family?

Just think about everything we take for granted everyday....the old pair of pajama pants that have holes but we have had for so long we just can't throw away....our favorite books, sitting on the shelves we can grab anytime....our favorite blankets to snuggle with when we are cold.....the treasures we have stored away of our kids just for the purposes of pulling out and looking at and remembering....all of that is gone. While they have acquired a lot of new stuff....and many people have sent so many gifts....they are having to learn to make the new familiar, and all of this while not knowing what, when or if in regards to their house.

NOW IS THE TIME. Even if you have never met Dwight and Linn in person, we are family, now is the time, the time to come around them again in prayer, in support, in just letting them know that we still remember that this is difficult and that we are here DOING whatever we can.

Perhaps besides prayer, whatever we can do right now is to FLOOD EHM WITH correspondence. In China, everything here is about who you know....well, I'm not ashamed to say....if anyone of you has connections with people who have connections....please use them and ask EHM for some consideration of this family!

We Need YOUR Help!

Hey everyone...this is a BIG secret that I hope Linn doesn't find out about...Linn, if you are reading this, please stop now! :)



A blogger friend of mine who is a very talented quilter has eagerly volunteered to make Linn a 100+ wishes quilt!!! Here are the details:

Send in a 12"x12" square of 100% cotton fabric in either sage green, lavender/muted purple, or pink. Any variety of those colors are fine as long as they are soft shades (in other words, no hot pink please!). Prints or solids are great. **the fabric does not need to be washed first** ALSO, send a smaller square of your fabric attached to a 3x5 pretty note card or paper with a note saying your name & where you are from and a brief message to Linn.

Chris will then make a beautiful quilt for Linn!! She is so sentimental and I just know that she will love having her blogger friends put this together for her!! If you have any questions, please email Chris at raychris@dejazzd.com and she will also give you her address where to mail it. Please have your squares mailed by Feb. 6ish!! And SHHH!! :) Thanks for your help!
