- Chapel received her Gomesi dress. She was like a kid on Christmas morning...flapping her hands and screaming with excitement! She got to wear it to church on Sunday and got many compliments.
- Monday, Tuesday and Thursday we went to IOM (doctor) for appointments for Jude. The same 3 families that were at the passport office were there each time, so it was nice talking to them while we waited.
- This tiny creature unexpectedly joined Chapel in the shower. Since, we have seen all sizes crawling on our walls...Andrew's not a big fan.
- The Pastor of Watoto took us to one of their three Children's Villages. They have created a community where they take orphans and care for them, give them different opportunities to go to school or learn a trade and have a home. Each home has 'mom', a lady who is widowed, lives and takes care of a maximum of 8 children. It was amazing to see. It sits on the side of a mountain and is beautiful.
- Jude fell asleep on my lap in the car, holding the remaining part of his cookie. :)
- We got our written ruling TODAY! This means we are Jude's legal guardians. So happy that I can show pictures of him now!
So, now we are waiting for the doctor to send paperwork to the Embassy. We have been told this should take 5-7 business days. Once the Embassy receives it they will contact us for an appointment to drop off paperwork. Once we drop off paperwork we will set up another appointment for an exit interview! We know of some hurdles we have to get through before the exit interview, so please continue praying!
