Almost Half Way
Today was a bit encouraging; we have tentative plans to have our court date on Friday. Daniel Valera would then officially be our son! We would still have to wait the mandatory 10 days that they instituted in September. Please, please pray that our court goes smoothly. It can be very stressful, like I said before, not everybody understands or likes Americans. I would like you also to pray for our translator Helen. She works very hard and is away from her family weeks at a time, doing God’s work and trying to make ends meet. She also has a lady friend at her church with cancer who is 28, so I ask you to lift her up in prayer as well. We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with whoever you spend it with. We are extremely thankful for the wonderful comments that you take the time to send- neighbors, family, and friends. We will miss being with family and especially the kids. Maybe if we are lucky we can find some turkey!!
Love, Doug and Glenda
The Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him! Isaiah 30:18

"Almost half way" and God has been good! I was at school today and so many moms asked me how you were doing over there, and about nate and rach here...I hope that the prayers of God's people are giving you the peace and assurance that things are going so well...I KNOW that it has been the power of prayer!! It is just so awesome to see pictures of Daniel Valera smiling (he has a great one!) and to see the two of you in the taxi as well. I just had to smile and even got a bit teary as I know of your journey and feel your joy amongst the unknown. We will be in constant prayer for you this Holiday...at our family dinners, etc. we will lift you up with Thanksgiving praise! This will be a holiday you will always remember and forever be most grateful for! With that, I close for now, and give thanks to God for your health, safety, peace, and God's leading you to Daniel Valera! Blessings in love and friendship, Rhonda
