Oh Baby-s!

Exciting News! Andy is officially going to be boarding a Kinshasa-bound plane on Saturday at 1:30! WooHoo!!!

Though we don't have much information about what documents were placed in the binders, we learned this morning that our Embassy binders were delivered and were supposedly complete (meaning all the missing docs were there).

Miraculously, the Embassy accepted the binders even though Silas and Mercy's passports weren't in them. They were supposed to be done on Tuesday and weren't. Usually in such a case, the Embassy will tell the Pastor dropping them off to go home and reschedule the appointment for when everything is done. Praise God that they didn't do that! They took the binders and are letting him drop the passports off later.

Now I've gotta get some suitcases packed! I had been waiting to know that our binders were delivered, so that I wouldn't have to stare at 2 ready-to-go bags in the event that everything got postponed for a month! Praise God who GRACIOUSLY provides! He has been very generous to us!

We have heaps of fitted sheets, pedialyte, clothes, cloth diapers, and books to deliver. Thank you for your generosity!

Now for more prayer requests:
1. For Andy to arrive safely in Kinshasa
2. For him to have good time with the children and for them not to be too sick from the long travel to see him or scared of him (They aren't used to English or being around white people)
3. For some sort of internet connection...I want to be able to see pictures and videos :)
4. For the Embassy interview to go well and for Andy to know how to best answer all the questions that they ask
5. For the passports to be done and for Mercy's birthdate to be correct on hers
6. For the visas to be issued quickly, so that we can return to Congo have them placed into our care for good!
7. For the Lord to sustain Silas and Mercy's health until we can get them home.
