Friday Update

FINALLY!!! We received a text message at 1:49 this a.m. letting us know that our court date has been confirmed for Friday Nov. 28th! We arrive in the country on Wed. the 26th, so this will give us a couple days to acquaint ourselves with the city and the locations we will need to get to. As you could expect, we are very excited to get to Uganda and continue our process. Please continue to pray for us. There are so many areas that we seek the Lord's blessing and hand upon. 1) Traveling safety for us (we fly out Nov. 24th and return Dec. 13th), as well as the others in Uganda who will need to be traveling while assisting us. 2) That our girls would adapt well while we are gone. They are all being well cared for, but nearly 3 weeks is a long time for our family to be separated. 3) Please pray for Tracy as she will need to say good-bye to her home and people she loves. There will be huge changes in her life, so pray as the Lord would lead you (including her emotional, physical, spiritual and mental health). 4) That our current family of 5 would transition well to the addition of our new family member. We have talked about this for nearly a year, but talking is almost over and being a family of 6 is very near. We know that this adoption is part of God's plan for our family and we can't tell you how exciting it is. We are expecting some transitional situations and our prayer is that we would keep God at the center of our family and seek His wisdom and guidance for the challenges that may occur. 5) Please continue to pray for all of our paperwork to be processed smoothly, quickly and without delay. Without this prayer being answered, there is a very good chance Tracy will not be able to come home with us. If her visa has not been processed in a timely fashion, one of us will need to return to Uganda after the first of the year to get her. Please pray that she will be on the plane with us Dec. 12th when we leave Kampala! Thank you for partnering with us on this amazing journey! Blessings, Tanya
