I can’t say enough good things about Salem Church of God in Clayton, OH. They have an awesome orphan outreach ministry that went all out this weekend. They hosted families from several different states that have adopted children from the Philip Hayden Foundation, along with supporters, staff and friends. They fed us, had bounce houses for the kids, had all sorts of games with prizes, snow cones, and blessed us incredibly. It was so neat to see some faces we knew from China, as well as some that we have corresponded with. Elijah remembered several of them (some were there before his time) and was very happy to give hugs. Many people from the church were delighted to meet Elijah as they had prayed for him for two years. He is somewhat famous there. 
Here are some pictures from our awesome afternoon.
What a neat time for you all and Elijah! I didn’t realize that all those PHF families would be there! how fun for you
