Now the Day count is at 68 days. It is already Saturday in China so the offices are closed for the weekend and we have to wait till Monday to find out if our Letter of Approval (LOA) is processed! Once we get that letter we will apply for I-800 visa approval to adopt Joy and then wait for Travel Approvals and all the other steps in between that will be 6-8 weeks more of waiting! We are starting a very busy season in our house this coming month and the long summer is almost over! We are praying we can travel in late October to bring Joy home!
Joel's birthday and our Anniversary is this coming week. It will be nice to get our LOA! What a gift it will be! School begins for our two teens (9th and 10th graders this year!) on August 11th, so our summer is pretty much over in just a week.
The week of the 11th our story will be featured on the connected hearts ministry web site. I'll post the link when our story is up!! If you can share the web site with your friends and family we are hoping to make the last push towards raising funds for our travel, orphanage donation and medical costs. Every little bit helps and it will all be tax deductible!
Our Puzzle Fundraiser is getting off to a slow start, but we haven't advertised it as much as we could. We have sold 16 puzzle pieces ($10 each) so far and have 16 different verses already to write on the back of them! What a blessing!!!!! Thank you to those of you who have sponsored a puzzle piece so far! We are hoping to have ALL 500 pieces sponsored by the time we travel in October! Let us know if you would like to sponsor a puzzle piece!!
We are praying we will continue to trust in God's timing. He is faithful and we can trust Him.
I'll leave you with one of my favorite songs that helps me keep my fears and anxiety at bay.
"Doing your best and praying its blessed, He'll take care of the rest." Keith Green
He'll Take Care of the Rest
