Please Pray!

Well the Christmas plays and performances are over and all went well!

Please be in prayer for Ty (my Husband). He has been sick and just stressed with work! We could use your prayers for him: especially health and lots of great business deals despite the economy.

Merry Christmas and don't forget to take time to appreciate why we celebrate Christmas! Jesus was born in a manger so he could DIE for us, everyone of us! Because of THIS we can have eternal life with him someday in Heaven. Please don't get so wrapped up in this season you forget why we even celebrate Christmas!

Blessings and Peace to everyone right now this season.

Dossier in Ethiopia!!! YIPEEEEE

It has been crazy around here! My oldest Daugher Katala has 4 Christmas plays this week. One yesterday afternon, one tonight (both for school) and then one Sat and One Sunday (for Church). I am helping with Decorations, stage directions, and cues for the church play so needless to say our week is INSANE!! :)

But on the Adoption side.... We got an email today from our agency that said

Rachel and Ty,

I just wanted to inform you that your dossier was received in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on December 4, 2008. It will now be authenticated, translated, then authenticated again. This process takes approximately 2-3 weeks. If you have any further questions feel free to contact us at the office. We will be updating you on the next steps of your adoption when we receive more information.

Also a prayer request: Our Director of our Agency: Agitu, is in Ethiopia! She is amazing and has been working tirelessly for us all but she is sick! Please pray for her to recover quickly so she can be healthy and be able to do all the work she is trying to do!

Thanks everyone!
