Focus on the Family

Well, it looks like we have a new air date. Focus on the Family contacted us today to let us know the program will air on January 10th. If you don't get Focus on the Family in your area, you can listen on-line here...http://oneplace.com/ministries/Focus_on_the_Family/

They have an archive area, so if you can't listen on the 10th, the program should be available for several weeks.

Nothing yet from the embassy. They are working a half day today, so they are probably gone by now. Anticipating hearing something by the end of the week.

We'll keep you posted...

Blessings,
Amy

Hab 2:3 -- But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.

Delivered

Samantha's package was delivered to the US Embassy in Guatemala this morning. Our prayers were answered, someone was there to signed for and accept the package! Now we wait. We should hear within the next week when our Embassy appointment is. Well, it's time to get off the computer and try to get something constructive done today.

Blessings,
Amy

DNA is on it's way!!

For some reason, Samantha's DNA results were NOT held by LabCorp until next year. They were sent FedEx, today! Praying somebody is at the US Embassy tomorrow to sign for them. If so, we could be PINK very, very soon. We'll keep you posted, keep praying!

Blessings,

Until the New Year

We heard from LabCorp this morning. Samantha's DNA has been sent to the doctors for review and calculations. When it is signed...it will be held and not mailed until the new year due to the fact that the embassy is closed until 1-2-08 and they will have no one there to receive the mail.

It's okay. God is in control of the timing and, as we've seen demonstrated very clearly in the last few days, knows exactly when we need to be back in Guatemala.

Merry Christmas!!

Jeremiah 29:11-14 -- For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me in earnest, you will find me when you seek me. I will be found by you," says the Lord. "I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and bring you home again to your own land."

DNA Done!!

Samantha's 2nd DNA test has been done and the sample arrived at the lab in North Carolina on Monday. There's a small chance that the results could be at the Embassy before Christmas. If they were received tomorrow, we might be PINK for Christmas. What's PINK? Glad you asked! A PINK is an email from the US Embassy giving us our appointment date to get Samantha's visa. She's almost home! We're seeing PINK dates for January 8th. We're praying our appointment is close to that, as the Prado's children are back in school January 14th and we'd really like to be down there while they are still on vacation. We'll see what God has in store!

Blessings,
Amy
