Christmas In August

Well, still no word about the girls' visas, but thought I would share some recent news. Many of you have asked about Tropical Storm Fay and its effects on GLA. They reported lots of rain and some strong winds, but they weathered the storm just fine. Thanks for your prayers!

Today we got our monthly update (frustrating, since we didn't even think we would get July's). In the letter they informed me that the girls' Christmas presents just got there (I sent it December 6th). I couldn't even remember what I even had sent them, then I remembered when I saw the pictures. I filled bags with lots of girly stuff, rings, bracelets, earrings, lip gloss. I also got them each a locket with each other's pictures inside of them. Needless to say, they were very excited to get the package and all the goodies inside. At this point, I think the package was perfect timing, because they know they are suppose to be home already as well. God's timing was so perfect with this little gift (even though in our minds it was 8 months late)! He knew the girls would need this reminder that we were still here and still cared about them. I had also sent them an email telling them how we can't wait for them to get home, they got it on the same day as the presents. I can hear you all saying, "God is Good, All the Time!"

Well keep up those prayers, if you can, we badly need them now as our patience grows thin. The boys start school after Labor Day and we are looking forward to that (okay I am, ha ha).

Love you all!
