Oh Happy Day!! Seth is almost home:)

Well, Monday the 23rd brought great news....we were given a tentative travel timeframe between the last week of March and the first week of April, yes 2009!! We will hopefully receive an exact date next week as to when our interview with the government will take place. Once we have that, then we will be able to book our tickets. Please continue to pray for his police clearance letter to be completed and for the I171 error to be fixed quickly.  I was really surprised that they were willing to give us dates with this letter still not done. We trust Gods timing in it all coming together perfectly. Our Mongolian social worker is working really hard to get this letter and complete Seth's file. We are so excited.....words cannot even express it!  Thanks for all your prayers, love and support!! Seth will be home soon.

Blessings for the Children!!

We are getting close to travel and wanted to gather some items for the children that
we will leave behind. We hope that you can participate in blessing a child by helping us gather one or more of the following items:

Childrens tylenol or Motrin (the Walmart brand is fine )
A large suitcase for packing supplies (we are bring 3-4 suitcases and we already have 2)
New/Gently used developmental toys and games
Desperately need new socks and underwear for 3-8 year olds
Bandaids, toothbrushes, kids toothpaste
Stickers,bracelets, hair things for girls,craft kits, beads, etc.....
We have lots of clothing but if anyone has new items...we will certainly bring those. These children don't receive many new things so it always nice to bring them something they can call their own!!!

Thanks for being on this journey with us and for being a blessing in the life of a child!!
