Thursday Update

I seem to be the one who makes these phone calls and Jim is the one waiting, holding his breath to hear how I'm responding to what I'm being told. Today was no different and when I hung up I thought Jim might pass out. He knew the conversation didn't go as well as we wanted, but he couldn't tell to what length our discouragement should be. As much as we trust God's perfect timing, sometimes we wish it was different. This is what we learned today: The paper's that were filed in court were incomplete. They were missing an original document that was needed on their end. The papers did get filed, but the judge was not willing to set a final date until that document was received in the court. (They had a copy, but needed the original to satisfy the courts). The original was retrieved late Thursday and it is now in our attorney's possession. We are told that he will return to court tomorrow, first thing in the morning, to add this document and receive the date. It is VERY important that this be accomplished tomorrow, as it is the last Ugandan business day before we are scheduled to leave. We have the ability to reschedule our flights, but that must be done 24 hours before departure. Our power of attorney felt confident that we can get a court date for next week. We continue to pray for this. Once again, we'll keep you posted... Tanya
