Passport, packages and plenty o' praise


It's March, can you believe it! This photo is of our Dossier. It is officially outta here and being sent to Washington D.C. to be authenticated! Woohoo!!

We overnighted the girls dolls, scrapbooks and the two papers that needed to be redone to Christy on Monday. She emailed me yesterday saying they arrived and everything looks great. AGCI was sending out a package to Ethiopia that day and so the girls will get their goodies within a week. What an overflowing feeling to know that our girls will finally get to meet us. This is one of the most exciting feelings of all. This morning we prayed that the girls find love in their hearts for us. We pray for their family there in Ethiopia a lot and I cry every time with overcome emotion. I want them to know Jesus and His love if they don't already. I pray that His peace covers them all the days of their life.
Also our travel packet arrived from AGCI in the mail over the weekend. This is incredible to read. It really starts to feel like a real trip. Also, my passport came in the mail too. I guess I better start dusting off my suitcases. But first I'd really like to gather things to donate. I know our church is ready to begin to give and love. Our church definetly has a heart for the many nations of this world and I'm thankful.
One thing though...our US CIS appointment hasn't came in the mail yet. This is worrying me a little..nope..a lot!! This is the only thing left for us to "do". Pray nothing is messed up.

USCIS can take about 6 weeks, (but don't count on it taking that long!) We got a letter confirming that they rec'd our request after a week, then another letter a week later with a date in 2 wks. Then a wk after our apt we got our letter and I didn't realize Julie was waiting for us to tell her the letter came in b/c it was too soon! I didn't realize it was THE letter -
too fast!

I'm so happy for you guys. The girls will love you. I'll be in prayer with you and continue to follow all along.
