Happy Cinqo de Mayo!
May 5, 2006

We wait patiently for forms and paperwork to be completed. Honestly, I'm not so patient. I'm ready to get things going and make the trip. We still have a good ways to go to be in that position. Since our last post, we've met with our facilitator and recieved several letters from UA. The NAC has also opened up this week. In one of our letters we were asked what "American" name we will be bestowing. I think that is hilarious! We had talked about it before this, but I suppose we'd better be getting a baby book and start picking out some names. G sent out a letter this week to family and friends soliciting prayer and financial support. If you didn't get one, please don't be offended - BTW if you did get one please don't be offended. We've lost any pride about this thing, we are sincerely seeking God's guidance and trusting that He will make a way for this to happen. He's been faithful so far and we expect nothing less for the rest of the journey. We are trusting Him to provide for the completion of this mission. Most importantly we are soliciting your prayers. Here are the specifics on the prayers:

1.) Paper work to continue smoothly and in God’s timing.
2.) Finances to be given through God’s provision.
3.) Our family and D while we wait.
4.) Safety and wisdom when we travel
5.) A, K and D to be sensitive to God’s voice.
6.) C and G to rely on God for everything.
7.) The bonding and transition of the family unit.

Seriously, pray like mad! We love each of you. Feel free to post a comment. Until next time...
