Traveling Soon!

Yep!  After a very (emotionally) rough few weeks on the adoption front, our first trip is coming up quickly!  Some of the processes have changed, which is to be expected in a pilot program...but the changes were pretty major.  After a lot of questions, discussion, and prayer, we are moving forward in the Cameroon program. So...Ryan will be traveling to Cameroon for "our" first trip VERY soon...in less than 2 weeks!  He will be in country for about 6 days, learning the Cameroonian culture, working with the ministry that handles "our" orphanage, and loving on the Cameroonian people.  We are super excited!! But, all that to say,

Please, Please, Please pray that Ryan's Cameroonian visa is issued and returned to us in record time!

We are due (according to the embassy timeline) to receive Ryan's visa (which is contained in his passport) just 1-2 days before he travels...so please pray that it comes in time, and we don't have any issues whatsoever.  We know the power of prayer, and have been blown away by God's blessings and provision throughout our entire adoption process (from financial provisions to the blessings of God's family), so we KNOW that God is in this process.  We are trusting him to bring that passport to us in time, with no worries whatsoever.  Please pray with us in this! 

Also...we are drawing the winning tickets for our quilt raffle on the 31st, so please contact us if you would like to be involved in this adoption process, and have the chance to win one of my mom's amazing quilts!  Comment, or email me to purchase tickets!

Thanks so much for your prayers and support.  We love you!!
