Getting Closer

The day is getting closer for us to have a child in our home. Last Wed. we received a phone call at 4pm. We had the opportunity to get a 2 month old baby boy, but we have not yet moved to our 2 bedroom apartment. Our apartment should be ready by the end of this week or the beginning of next week. Please pray that we will be able to get in and have everything ready for when we receive the next call for a baby. Thanks!

New News!

A semester, Christmas, New Years, and now Feb. has passed and we have not done a very good job of blogging. All the above have been good times. We have had a great time visiting family and friends and even speaking at a few churches about missions. We will have the great opportunity to go back to Guatemala in May. So, we look forward to spending a week of renewing old friendships and ministering to some villages around Chimaltenango.

We have been in the process of getting certified to foster a child from the New Orleans area. We had our home study yesterday, and we were approved! Our long term goal is not just to foster, but to adopt the child that we bring into our home. We will be getting a baby no more than 6 months old. The race or gender does not matter to us. We ask that you please pray for the Lord to lead us to the child that we will nurture and care for for the rest of his/her life. Thank you for your prayers. We will give be giving frequent updates during this process, at least when there are some. So, stay tuned!
