Below is an email from our friends that I wanted to share...
Amanda and I wanted to give everyone an update on our Both Hands Project. It took place on November 20, 2010 and one of the many blessings that we received that day was beautiful weather. We are so overwhelmed with the response we have received in this process. God has reminded us over and over again that he is in control.
People have donated their resources:
Everything from Building materials, paint and mulch to food for the workers.
People have donated their time:
Hours of time sending letters, making calls, organizing, Working on project day and most importantly time spent in petition to God on our behalf.
People have donated their money: It has been such a blessing to see how people have responded.
Words do not express how much all of these donations have meant to us. Each one, material, time, and money all have brought us one step closer to being able to bring Leah home. Because of your out pouring we were able to accomplish a lot for Mrs. Dot. We painted the house, repaired a closet floor, repaired damage to the back of the house, completed a tree house, graveled the driveway, landscaped the yard, and painted a bathroom. none of this would have been possible if not for your willingness to help.
The Tuesday after the project Amanda and I received our referral from Holt International. We now have pictures and information about our daughter Leah Grace Gasser. She is 13 months old and as sweet as she can be. Thanks to your help we have currently raised $5,000 of our remaining $20,000. Praise God!! Below is a link to a video from the project and the Life song/Both Hands website. Feel free to forward this on to any one that you have told about the project so they can see what they have helped to accomplish.

John and Amanda Gasser
