Prayer trading

I've been thinking alot about adoption lately...maybe since we're on the home stretch with finalizing Bosten's adoption....or maybe because we have friends trying to adopt...or maybe because its not that long until we can start the whole rollercoaster ride again

(Bosten has to be one).

I didn't get to go to the National Families Supporting Adoption Conference that was in Utah recently. I was really bummed about it too. What a great resource for people involved in adoption! We had just gotten home from Oregon, Kyle was working, I didn't have a babysitter, blah, blah, blah.

I'm especially bummed since I missed Troy Dunn.

He is a former BYU football player, current LDS bishop (in Florida) who has a show on cable, "The Locater". Its a great show. He was the keynote speaker at the conference. I haven't gotten to read his whole talk yet, but loved this:

"My mom introduced the beautiful concept of adoption in a very simple manner," Brother Dunn said. "She said, 'There is something that is called prayer trading, and we're going to trade prayers with somebody. Somewhere out there is a girl praying for a good family for her baby. We are going to pray for a good tummy with a baby in it, and we are going to answer each others' prayers.' "

I love that.

Next year I'm going to the conference. Anyone want to come?

Heather? Tarrin? Melissa?

Anyone else?

Its a date.
