we're off.....to a land down south!!!

We are leaving tomorrow morning for Guatemala to bring our precious babe home. My sweet sweet friend Lou Lynn is down visiting her baby and called me this afternoon telling me to come on down. We would be receiving our pink slip on Monday, so we are going to go to the Embassy and request an appointment for the following day. We have been in contact with our attorney, and he is encouraging us to go ahead with this. We are all busy packing and getting organized and trying to love on our two little ones who are not going with us on this trip. They are so excited to get to spend time with the cousins. 

Please continue to pray for us as we continue on this journey. We feel peace in this decision of going.

We leave Bloomington at 10:15 am and arrive in Guatemala City at 7:00 pm. My heart is heavy for Kella's foster mom, Norma, as she is giving her last foster baby away. Norma has loved this little one from birth on. We are forever grateful to her for the nurturing and love that she has given Kella. We should have her by about 9:00 pm tomorrow night (they are an hour behind us in Guatemala) We're so glad to have our family and friends along for the journey and covering us in prayer. We love you all!!!!

Praise the Lord. We are praying for each detail. God bless the travel details, the favor with the Embassy appointment, for Norma, for a great time for the girls with the cousins, and most of all close bonding with sweet Kella. We are so glad that you will be home before we take off. We can't wait to you with her. Lord bless you.
