PRAYERS ANSWERED--PRAISE GOD!

Tuesday, September 11, 10:15, Bangkok
Yes!!! We finally got the news today that our prayers regarding the paperwork have been answered! We received a phone call from Marissa, at Holt Intl back home, late last night informing us that they were working diligently to locate the missing paperwork and to encourage us to not lose heart. Then, this morning, Mo called to tell us that they felt the best thing would be for us to show up at the immigration office in person to try to get some assistance. She picked us up at 9:00 and we went by taxi to the US Homeland Security office. The officer there did not seem to be able to help us, but we kept asking them to call the US Embassy to check whether it had been sent to the wrong place. The supervisor asked us for some information and then, all of a sudden, they found it! The officer even said that the embassy had just called with our information and she didn't know why. We know however that it was a God-thing!!! We are so relieved and can look forward to the next couple of days of official business without a cloud hanging over our heads. Well, in just about half an hour, Beth and Jack will arrive and we will have full custody! A day of playing, swimming and relaxing seems in order!

We are so excited that prayers have been answered. We can hardly wait for you to come home. Now we will be praying for an easy adjustment for Beth and Jack. See you soon. Love you!
P.S. Calvn and Vendala are doing okay too. Vendala is spending a lot of time sleeping on the kids beds.

GOD IS AWESOME!! I have goose bumps! We are so very happy for your family. We will keep you in our daily prayers until you're safely home. We miss you both and can't wait to meet those sweet little kids! As a side note, we're pretty sure at least one of them needs a cage kart to race!
