Last week we heard that the girls' extrait was finally stamped and sent through legalization. This was the piece of paper that the US Consulate has been waiting on in order to approve their visas. Dixie brought it over to the US Consulate on the same day and hopefully we will hear something very soon. We are praying that they will not need anything else and that we will hear that their visas are approved some time within the next week or two. We hate to get our hopes up, but we hope that this will finally be it.
It has been hard these past few months, but only through our faith have we gotten through it all. This has definitely taught us that we are not in control and that only God knows the whole picture. We have learned to lean more heavily on Him and to let Him play this whole thing out the way it needs to. I can't tell you how comforting it has been to stay in His word everyday. I read somewhere that the Bible is a letter from God to us. He uses it to remind us how much He loves us and if we continually read it, it will always bring us great comfort. I can't tell you how much it has lately! So whenever you need a quick pick me up, open up His word. He is never far away!
Thank you all again for all of your thoughts and prayers! Hopefully we will be hearing something real soon!
Love,
Allison

We experience it every day too, Allison. His Word serves as an anchor for all of life. If we need a picker-upper, which is often, we're in His Word. Thanks for being patient. We're praying that all of your's and Brian's prayers concerning your three lovely daughters, will soon be answered.
