Still waiting

Well, there isn't much to tell right now. We are still waiting on our FBI clearance to return, and our form from immigration. Once we have these, we send them to Russia and they will set us a court date. While it is still likely that we could be home for Christmas, our spirits have been a little down this week because we were hoping that if our paperwork came back we would be able to go for our hearing at the end of October. Please pray for us as we wait. It is so hard to not get frustrated when the delays come. And it is as equally difficult to keep from getting overly excited.

We had a great visit with Lesley, Todd, the girls and Caleb this weekend. Continue to pray for them as Caleb is half way through his Chemo treatments. He has been really good so far (besides feeling pretty lousy after each treatment). Pray his counts stay up so he can stay in school and do all the things a 6yr old should be able to do.

As far as building a house goes there isn't a lot that can be done when you get 20+" of rain while you are trying to build a foundation. We will try again this coming week to pour a slab. I think the delays there are part of the frustration as well. Hopefully with a little progress we can keep occupied while we wait on the paperwork.

Thanks again for continuing to lift us up.
