We have an answer to all of our ferverant prayers.  I just got off the phone with Eric.

He had a very impromtu visit with the American Embassy to finalize all of our paperwork on the US side.  He said it was not a fun ordeal but will give me more details when he gets home.  The US Embassy staff that he talked to will not allow the sibling group to be separated.  This obviously helped Eric make his decision.

Patty later found out that the passport had been found and was promised to be in their hands either by Monday or Tuesday.  So, Eric is staying in Liberia until Wednesday.  He will be home Thursday night. 

Isn't God incredible?  All night I tried to figure out different scenerios but none was quite like this one.  Thank you for your prayers on our behalf.  We now can praise the Almighty for His gracious answer to our prayers. 

If you would still like to bow your head for us, here are some other requests.

• Joseph and Gabbie both seem to have another bout of Malaria.  Please pray for healing since they have a long trip ahead.
• Eric will come directly home to a lot of work for the business he is in.  He will only have 8 days before he leaves for Hawaii.  July is now going to be a very energy draining month.  I am praying for his strength to hold out.

I'm thankful the Lord heard your, and our, cries and made His way clear. We'll continue to pray for all of you!

Wow. Praising God with you and petitioning on behalf of you. The enemy is angry. That's all. I'm praying for the healing of your babies. I read this about 4 this morning! I'll share: Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strng. 1 Cor. 16:13

Spoke to me, as we are going through a draining time-hope it offers some encouragement to you.

Praise God!! Oftentimes he works things out in ways we don't even think about. How neat that Eric didn't have to make the decision about what to do. It has been so wonderful to hear about your growing family. We will pray that Eric will get the work done that he needs to before Hawaii.

We are going to call Donna Monday about Dorcas-- don't know if anything can be done, we haven't even filed I 600 yet, but we'll see if we can't get her out somehow.
God's continued blessings,
Christine
