The Children...Coming SOON!!!

Ok so I'm sorry that it's taken a few days to update about all that's happening on this end of the world. Several of you have emailed for updates on which children are coming and so I'll answer this way so that you can all hear what's up.

We went to Casitas on Wednesday afternoon (which is the state run orphanage that all the children are filtered through first) and we met some precious little ones. I fell in love with a little boy named Milton who was a year old. Sweet little guy who felt just right in these arms who are waiting to cuddle up some of God's kiddo's who need to feel someone love them. We didn't walk out of there with children or even know which ones we'd take though. We spoke with the director who is a very nice lady who has done wonderful things for the place and she was extremely helpful and encouraging.

We spent the day yesterday going to Jimmy Hughes, who is this really cool guy that also has a children's home as well as a rehabilitation center here in Honduras and is much involved with IHNFA (which is the "social services" system basically here). He gave us some really great counsel as well as made some phone calls to help us figure out the process from here for getting children.

We're still waiting for updates on a few things with the paperwork and legalities tomorrow and we'll know better how soon we're able to move forward with children.

Please continue to pray for the children who are coming. I trust God will choose them and that once we get them we'll instantly fall more in love with His heart and the heart of these little ones.

We'll keep you posted every step of the way. Thanks for encouraging and praying and supporting us in a thousand ways. We appreciate all of you!
