Delays

So, once again we are being told that we need to be patient and wait. The judge did not see any reason why it would be such a bad thing for our family to have to be split up. He doesn't think the special medical needs we have with doctors appointments and such back home are really a good enough reason to expedite anything for us. He doesn't want to acknowledge that by letting us take Busi home it is helping one of his own not just helping foreigners. The good news in the waiting this time is that our daughter is with us. She is here with her forever family and even though this all means it may be awhile before she's able to see her home and that we're all able to be together in our home, she is still with her family. This time it is not a waiting for her to be with us, it's just simply waiting to go home. God has put us together as a family and He will bring us all together again soon.

Right now the plan is for Scott, Eva, Shalom and Calvin to return home on Friday on our original flight. Busi, myself and Charis will wait and return home when we are given the proper paperwork to leave the country. Scott is speaking at Timberlake the 6th-12th and Shalom and Calvin will go with him to camp. After that he'll be looking for some wonderful friends to help out with the kids when needed : )

Continue praying for our family as we will be split up for a time. Pray for safe travels for Scott, Eva, Shalom and Calvin on Friday. Pray for myself, Busi and Charis as we find things to fill our time with while we're here. Pray that Home Affairs will expedite our paperwork on our own even without a judge making them. Thank you for all your prayers that you have already been pouring over our family. We feel them.

We can't wait to return to all of you!
