Spring 2017 Mission Campaign

It has been a good bit of time since I last blogged and some of that is due to being busy and some of that is due to lack of movement.   We have been waiting and still are waiting to get our simple adoption changed over to a plenary adoption and we have finally moved out of IBESR and are in the court system once again.   We found out about this in January of 2018.   We have updated our finger prints and home study, and we sit and wait on that paperwork machine to move.   We hope the boys understand that we are doing everything we can to get them here even though there is not much that we can do.   Patience at this point is hard.   This summer will be six years we have been working on our adoption.  Our friends and family do not think we are going to be able to get them here or their adoptions are not going to happen, but we still have faith and will continue to let this be in God's time and God's way.  

We did see them twice in 2017.     The first time was in early June when we went on a medical campaign and we got to see them for a week.   Here are some pictures from this trip and I will post about our second trip when we spent Thanksgiving with them again the next two posts.


Sunday, their reward was a Pepsi.  Couldn't drink one during clinic days or they would not stay out of the bathroom.




Showing off their muscles.




Helping in clinic and they were great help.  Cherdinor helped worm every patient that came through and Davidson kept all of the medical team and the interpreters filled up with water.


Can't beat Jan's banana pudding, and yes, they did taste test.


Soccer, Haiti style, and they had fun that day.


Showing off their new clothes.


One day we are going to help straighten Davidson's feet and legs.


Wishing Wilson a Happy Birthday.


Sunday clothes.


And it was Father's Day in Haiti that Sunday.
