DVD

This is the children doing their daily lessons.

They learn Math, Bible, Reading, English and

life skills in the orphanage. We received our

first DVD yesterday of "A Day in Their Life".

It was so wonderful to see them all and watch

their day and enjoy a "moving picture". We

wept seeing the simplicity of their lives: No

beds, eat on the floor, wash from a bucket,

carry their own water. So humbling to see

and yet they are so well cared for! They are

well fed and being taught daily!!!

Visa Arrives

Praise the Lord, A visa has been approved! The drawback
is that is not Jeff's visa. We so hoped that he would go on
this first visit, but it is not to be. We are grieved and
thrilled in the same breath. We will cheerfully send our
friends and thank the Lord in His providence that we
will soon have a first hand report of our dear little ones!

Thank You!!

little friends.

Thank you to DaySpring for your generous

giving and commitment to us for another

year!

You can't know what a blessing it

has been to have your love and support!

Travel Update

So, we have been in touch with our state rep. Lloyd
Doggetts office. They had us fax in consent forms for
them to take over talks with the consulate on our
behalf. We were very hopeful as they told us that
they have had good success in these matters. However,
after several days of their efforts, we were informed
that they don't think there is much they can do. So,
aside from God changing the situation, we are beginning
to have someone else pursue visas to take Jeff's place.

You all know our heart and how we desire to meet the
dear children. The Lord knows what is best and we are
resting in His choices here.
