Sending a package of love

We are in our second week of waiting for our Article 5 to come from China.  This is the last puzzle piece before travel approval. As paperwork has been slow, we are now hoping for a December travel. Please pray that we can travel this year!

Since we have a few extra weeks before we get to meet Jesse, our kids are compiling items to send him another care package.  We initially sent a photo album of his family, house, room, etc.  along with a few little toys.  But , this time around Ethan drew him a picture of a bike, since he loves to ride bikes:

Brianna has made matching paracord bracelets for all of the kids to wear on gotcha day.  We will send one to Jesse this week so he will already have his. This package will also be filled with the love of so many who have offered prayer support, financial support, and support from all of their experience with adopting, especially an older child.  Our fears are continually conquered by the support of each one of you and the promises of our Lord

Deuteronomy 31:6

 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you
