Sadly they were denied but because it was a necessity they bought it. Now they are raising money to help other families get similar beds! Theirs has literally changed their lives! I'm so excited for you! I love every update!ErinLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829903019373509408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086191921381602855.post-63475243814863126822014-06-03T16:04:24.346-05:002014-06-03T16:04:24.346-05:00Thanks so much Emily!! Loved reading your note! Me...Thanks so much Emily!! Loved reading your note! Mercy is still fluent & will likely be for the rest of her life. She reads/speaks/writes Mandarin frequently. We think Caleb will keep his also. That makes us really happy! The others are not fluent, but do use some key words. We all speak a crazy mix in our home. Zach & Allie both study mandarin for their 2nd language. They have a great personal tutor with Mercy! :) Thank you for praying & celebrating with us. <br />Art & Jen Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386915686529436566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086191921381602855.post-43168572112575777022014-06-03T15:55:24.273-05:002014-06-03T15:55:24.273-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Art & Jen Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386915686529436566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086191921381602855.post-38183065471193063342014-06-03T03:08:14.066-05:002014-06-03T03:08:14.066-05:001.
