Here we go, AGAIN.

This past Monday was our 13th wedding anniversary. Since we really didn't want to use up vacation time we both worked and had a quiet dinner at home with family. We celebrated over the weekend. On Monday evening we received an email from our agency that said there is an 11 month old baby girl in Kazakhstan that we could travel for. We're told that we will need to be in country on June 1st. Is that just about the best anniversary present one could get?

So, it looks like we're heading to Kazakhstan for an extended summer vacation!! Now we need to unpack all the winter clothes, buy some summer ones and repack. Please pray for us that this trip actually takes place this time but most importantly pray that this is a healthy baby.

Bill and Melissa,

I will keep you wrapped tightly in daily prayers that this is your time to go and that you will find your child. That is a wonderful anniversary present to hear such news! Happy Anniversary, lucky 13! So glad I checked back and saw good news. We'll be keeping you in our thoughts. June 1st was the day we left and it was chilly when we got there. Then it got up to over 100 degrees many days, so pack a variety of clothes. Good luck packing. Tricia

Dear Bill and Melissa,

Is it too much to hope that this is the baby girl you have been hoping and praying for? It would make everything that happened previously be understood and show that God's hand is in everything. We really just can't wait for you to be on a plane and safely arrive. Although, We are going to miss you!
