Just one little request today, as you read this would you stop and pray? It's the best way you can join us on this mission that Christ calls us to. Here's what you can pray about:
- Pray that our USCIS fingerprints get approve SUPER quickly.
- Pray that the paperwork that we need to redo, update, and/or add to will be good and will get done quickly.
- Pray that we get approved for the aid we are needing. Pray that we find the time to fill out the applications, are able to focus on them, and get them done quickly.
- Please pray for our kids here and our kids there. Pray God prepares their hearts. Pray for their protection and that they are taken care of.
- Pray that Chris and I are both able to stay near the orphanage together and bring home the kids together. This would require quick progress, I think. If we need to stay there too long, Chris will need to come home to work. He won't get paid while we are there, which means we can't afford to pay our mortgage. If funding comes in, then we might be able to stay there together. Also, if things go quickly in country, then we won't need to stay there so long and can return home with our children. Pray as God leads you on this because His will is best. Just note that the reason we both need to stay there is because we are bringing home 5 children, which isn't typical. If I am alone, I will need to get 5 children who do not speak English to go through all of the airport stuff, be on a plane (that typically has 2-3 seats in a row), leave one time zone into another, probably have another flight to get on, 5 kids to feed in those tight seats on the plane, and a lot of stuff that I can't even imagine. I can't imagine how I will take a child to go pee, either. What if the others get up and head to the pilot while I'm at the potty? HA HA! Please pray that Chris gets to stay.
Thank you for your prayers!!!
