I wanted to share my excitement with you all by giving some more info about the families.
The first family, which I had talked a little about is a family of 10, there is the mom, dad, and eight children, ranging from age 3-15, seven of which were adopted!
I talked to the husband, Gilbert, this morning, and he is so nice. I felt blessed by our conversation. He spoke about his children in a way that showed off what a proud father he is. I love that!
I will be dropping off their food on the 24th, as they don't have a lot of room to keep the turkey ahead of time.
I tell you what, I cannot wait to meet this family face to face!
The second family that I thought was a family of six is actually a family of seven (I really need to work on my Spanish!). This family is a single mother of six children ranging from age two to 19; all still living in the home. The mother does not speak any English, so I have hired my best friend Maria to participate in the phone conversations and the drop off of their food, as my translator. Maria is not a part of the Eden Community, but is offering to help, and holds a top secret clearance, so she is perfect for the "job".
I cannot wait to get the shopping started! Target has turkeys on sale this week for only $.46/lb! less
