Waiting, Waiting and More Waiting!!!

Well, I have been waiting to update until I had good news. At this moment we are still waiting to get our Letter of Acceptance (LOA) from China. We are currently (August 5) at 104 days from our Log In Date (LID). This was a long wait until the last month. Now with the Olympics it is becoming the norm. We have received word that China Offices have gone to split shifts due to the traffic rules set up in Beijing due to the Olympics. That means that the wait could continue longer than before.

Sooooo.... what this means for me is that I need to go on with my life. It is obvious that we will probably not go to China until October. So I am in the process of getting all paperwork done, packing (Minus our clothes) and so on. I will not be able to do much of this work once school starts (3 1/2 weeks from now ...UGH!).

Please continue to pray for us as we wait and trust God. I have had great days and bad days. I do know that God has a day and time planned. My worrying is not helping. Please also continue to pray for the final finances to be provided.

We love you all.
