(The following is a copy of an email sent by Nick and Suze Moss)

Hello dear friends,

Just wanted to send a special thanks to each of you for helping with our
pancake breakfast. We had set a goal of raising $1000-$1,200 and we are so
blessed to tell you that our final total was $2,011.90 (sales and tips) and
another $900 in donations from some members of our Sunday School class at
Frazer. Since May, when God put Sam in our life, we have raised and/or
friends have donated $5,400 (this doesn't count the anonymous angel who is
paying for our airfare to and from China)!!! This just re-affirms God's will
that Sam is meant to be ours. We are very blessed and fortunate to have all
of you as friends. I know God will bless each of you for helping bring Sam
to his forever home. We can't wait to teach him about Jesus and to let him
be loved by all of you! We praise God that he chose us to raise this child
who was abandoned on the other side of the world, in the middle of the night
at 6 weeks of age, and survived heart surgery at 6 months. Can you imagine
what great plans God has for him? It has to be grand!!!

God Bless All of You,

Susan and Nick

P.S.

We have pictures of the breakfast posted on our blog
