Got word on Friday that our dossier was sent to China that day. It should arrive next week, get checked out by someone working with our agency and then delivered to the CCCWA where it will be translated and logged in. So... hopefully we'll be LID (logged in date) in the next 3 to 4 weeks.
This is another big hurdle. Whew! It seems like things take so long, but we are resting that it is all in the Lord's hands and His timing. We've noticed there is a lot of hurry up-- then wait. That's ok. There is a time for everything.
Sadly, we've been denied for two of the five grants for which we've already applied. We are in the process of applying for one more. Then we'll be on the hunt for more grants out there. If anyone knows of any grants for adoptions please leave us a comment. Thanks!
Soon we'll be figuring out what to do for our next fundraiser. We've had a friend offer to host Pampered Chef for us and another a jewelry show. So sweet to do that! We may even put up a few things on our blog to sell....so please share our blog with others!
Thanks for following along with us on a journey. We appreciate you thoughts and prayers!
Blessings to you!

Day 2 in the Village
arts and crafts in the village today. The village is such dirty rags...but the children are so beautiful! Made me think God sees us like that....such dirty rags but then...beautiful with Jesus.

The Village Today
We went to the gypsy village today. The children are beautiful!
My pictures won't load again... boo hoo!
We blew bubbles, sang songs, played soccer and performed our skit. It was a good day. We go back tomorrow. Also, we broke up into teams and visited foster families. I really wish my pictures would upload so you could see the sweet family who blessed us today...a lovely mom and her two daughters- Christina and Malvina. She adopted Christina who is now 12 and plays the recorder and piano and sings. Malvina is her 5th foster child and is now 8. She has a poster of Hannah Montanna on her wall and she loves dolls. They fed us lunch....four courses. Very sweet family.
Tomorrow we go back to the village and to an orphanage. Maybe I can figure out how to get my pics to work.
Pray for us to be able to share the TRUTH and Love of Jesus despite our language barrier.
Multumesc (thank you)!

Getting to Romania
Left for Romania yesterday...got here today. Got here about 5 PM Romania time. We are 7 hours ahead of Chattanooga. We flew to JFK then to Budapest, Hungary. Then we had about a 4 hour drive to Oradea, Romania.
Our team is doing church for some kiddos tomorrow. So exciting.
Tried to upload some pics but they won't work right now. I'll try again tomorrow.
