TRAVEL DATES!!!!

We just got the call from our agency telling us we will be travelling in THREE WEEKS!!! I am way beyond excited! When we were told that we had passed court, we were told at the same time to expect to travel in late September. This was a huge disappointment to me because I had expected to be going at the end of August and it meant one more month away from my baby. But God showed himself merciful to us! When Lisa from our agency called, she said "Have you been praying?" Um, yes.

We passed!!

I don't have much else to say - we're excited! Thanks for all the prayers!

Tonight!

Tonight is the night! Please pray for all the paperwork to be in order, for the people who need to be there to show up, and for God to allow us approval tomorrow. We were encouraged to hear of a lot of abandonment cases that passed today - it was the first main day of re-scheduled abandonment hearings for people who had been affected by the hold. Thank you for praying with us!

Finally Some Good News!!

We have been pretty discouraged the last couple of weeks around here, not hearing any significant news from Ethiopia. But today we got the e-mail we've been waiting for telling us we have a new court date!! It is two weeks away on July 28th! If we pass, we have a good chance of travelling before Eric has to start school again, which would be a huge answer to prayer.
