Hey all,
Kelsi and I have been continuing the process of adopting Abby and Lily. This past week, the ministry said that they would "call us sometime this week for a meeting." I didn't want to make too much excitement about it, because they have said things like that before... Kelsi and I got excited, though. We put out the clothes that we would wear, when they called, and were on pins and needles the whole week... waiting. Monday came and passed. Tuesday came and passed. Wednesday came and passed. Thursday came and passed, and finally on Friday we knew it was the last day. We got a call from Thon, our adoption coordinator, and he said that he was at he ministry trying get a meeting with the guy, and he was very disappointed that he did not meet with us this week. It is now Monday, again, and we are not surprised that it didn't happen, and laughing at the fact that phrase "it might happen this week." This week, we are not on pins and needles--we are on our knees in prayer. We have been praying for the adoptions, but now we are getting intentional about it. Please pray with us this week, as we wait for this meeting that "might happen."
On the note of the adoptions still in the works, Kelsi and I have taken measures to make our house into a home. We now have a bedroom for Kels and I, a bedroom for the girls, a small living room, and a small kitchen. The kitchen is feeling a whole lot bigger, though. We replaced the table with a smaller one, so now instead of the table taking up half the kitchen, it is only taking up a fourth of the kitchen ;) It is starting to feel more like a home--any where the girls are is home. So for as long as God says, Cambodia is our home. He still has work for us to do, and we are still breathing. Thank you to all of our supporters. On paper we have reached our initial goal of $1,200 a month in support. We have come up with a way to save some money, however. We are not spending any of our 500 or 100 riels. The 100 riels are going into a jug for the girls returning home money and the 500 riels are going into a jug for plane tickets. 100 riel is about 2.5 cents and 500 is about 12.5 cents, so it is not a huge hit to be saving them. Other than that, Kelsi is making her own pickles--Mark gave her the idea. We have also instituted Friday Night Girls night. We play games and maybe watch a movie... Abby LOVES candyland. Other random information--Lily has only pooped on the potty one time, since we started potty training... she always poops during nap time or in the middle of the night... Any suggestions would be great. I guess that is all. We are blessed, and we are plowing the field. We will see you all, when God gives us the go to come on home!
Love you all!
Micah and Kelsi
