We're Off!!

Our plane leaves in two hours and we'll be on it! For those of you who didn't know, it was questionable whether we'd be going today because the Colombian courts are striking and the agency didn't want me stuck over there with no court activity. The bad news is the courts are still striking, but the good news is they really think it will be over within the next week. My papers need to be in court a week after I pick up the girls (which is tomorrow!!). There is also a back up plan. The agency thinks that we may be able to put the paper work through a general court outside of Bogota. We'd better get going, but thank you thank you thank you for the prayers. I definitely feel them and continue to see God's guiding hand working through it all.

Woo-hoo! This is going to be good, Jeri! I am reliving this adventure of adoption with you. You will not really enjoy it until you think back, but take good notes. :-) In the meantime, we will work on our "spinach."

Luv'ya'

Oh Jer,
It's so good to see you WITH the girls and read about your first day togather. I added you to our prayer request last night at Bible study, so now there are about 20 more ladies praying for you, Joy, the girls,and "all the details."
