On Monday this week, we were told that two of our kids had been adopted and would be leaving by the end of the week. The sudden transition was very emotional for all of us, as we had to say "goodbye" to two of our precious little ones. They have both transformed since their arrival and I praise God for bringing them here. We would greatly appreciate prayer in the weeks to come as they are adjusting to a new situation and we are adjusting to life without them. Our hearts are truly grieving their loss, but we are working hard to place them in God's hands and are hopeful that their new situation will provide them with stability and close family. We also pray that they would remember the truth about Christ and his sacrifice for them. We were able to send them off with their bilingual Bibles and a book of Bible stories to remind them of all they learned while they were here. I've posted a picture of them below.
In regards to the accreditation possibility (mentioned in my previous post), we drove into the city with the kids last week to meet the government representative who is working on our case. He assured us that he was pursuing accreditation for us, but we still do not know if it is within reach. Continued prayer in this area would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your prayers for health for all the kids! For the first time in over a month, none of the kids are sick! I've posted some pictures below of general happenings in the house. Enjoy! :)
It's corn time! The kids love taking the grain off the corn-in fact, they voluntarily spend much of their recess and playtime working on this job. They are preparing it to be ground, turned into "masa" and made into delicious corn tortillas!
