This morning I went to McDonalds in Excelsior, on an errand for the Bike-a-Thon. I had previously called the manager to ask if they would provide coupons for free ice cream for any of our riders that pass through on the 14 or 20 mile route. He agreed graciously (Yay!) and asked if I would come pick them up in person.
When I arrived this morning, I found Bill (the awesome manager) and received the envelope of coupons. He proceeded to tell me: "I've been looking forward to meeting you. I just want to say, it's an awesome thing that you guys are doing. My wife and I adopted our two sons from Russia a few years back. We spent some time in the orphanage there, and... I don't want to get emotional right now, but let's just say it was almost impossible to leave the orphanage without taking all the kids with us. So thank you for what you're doing. I'm happy to be a part of it." Leave it to our Puzzle Master to connect me with that particular manager of McDonalds, who has a connection already to what we are doing. Amazing! Not only is he putting all the pieces together, but he is making it beautiful just for the fun of it. I am always taken by surprise by His encouragements along the way. On top of the fifty coupons for free ice cream, the manager let me put up a promo poster for our event. Thank you Bill from McDonalds! For more Bike-a-Thon info, visit www.hsorphans.org/events

A note from Rebekah...If you've ever wondered what it would be like to start a nonprofit from the ground up, to open a home for ORPHANS with special needs in Asia, you've come to the right place. Archives
