Travel Date

N:

The day in Rwandan Court sounds like it went well. We learned today that we will be going through Kenya for their visas instead of Ethiopia (one week in Rwanda and hopefully one in Kenya).

We have a tentative travel date of January 22nd!!!

If you want to send a donation to the orphanage, let us know, or send us a check. What they have been doing is letting us buy food and supplies and deliver them to the orphanage while we are there.

Until the judge reads the verdict, we can't share pictures or added info about the kids. We will post when we officially pass court (should know by Friday, Jan. 8).

Overwhelmed with Wonder and Thankfulness

L:

I am overwhelmed with thankfulness for our adoption, our most important adoption. The Creator of all came into the world as our Savior so that we could be adopted into His family! Anyone who believes in Jesus becomes the child of the King and has life and a relationship with Him now and for all eternity! I am filled with wonder that the Almighty God loves like this. Our adoption of Kalysta and Tryana is a beautiful reminder and gives me a deeper understanding of this most important adoption. May you be filled with wonder as you ponder Jesus' coming. Merry Christmas!

Court Date

N:

We are excited!!!! We just learned that the court date is scheduled for next Wednesday (Dec. 30th).
That means, if we pass and get our immigration approval, we will probably travel Mid-January.

Time to start packing!
