I know 2 post in one morning! BUT the mail came and we received our Receipts from the Lockbox which were dated December 2, 2010! This means that it went to NBC, which is the last stop state side before it goes to the US Embassy in Peru where they write the invite to travel! So CHECK!!!
We are another step closer to being with OUR daughters! So for the papers to keep moving!!!! This is 2 times in one month that we have seen our papers move in 2-3 days while at the Lockbox! The reported time is 14-21 days.
Thank you for continuing to PRAY for those final documents, flights and lodging!

It is OFFICIAL!
It is official that my heart is in Peru..... You have no idea! After sharing a little glimpse of Julissa's birthday any tiny piece that was hanging on is no longer.
I can only imagine that what I am experiecing is PURE JOY. To wake suddenly at any hour of the night with a SMILE on my face thinking of our girls, has got to be the best experience of my life. I can not shake it even when I try, thoughts of our girls are always on my mind. In fact you may have been on the receiving end when I have asked you to repeat what you just said to me, or almost blown through a red light that I was looking at it and yet my mind just did not register RED=STOP! You may have been the one to hear, I don't understand or I just can't do that it doesn't make sense. Let me just tell you when the 18 inches between your head and your heart is difficult to reconcile...... just IMAGINE adding thousands of miles........
We are waiting on the Visa's to move from the lockbox still! We are feeling peaceful about this process. We have done everything we can to assist/aid the people 'working' on our behalf and we are trusting God for the outcome. Hearing our sweet little daughter plead with us to commit to a time when she and her sister would be with us and then ASK if we could be together for Christmas was incredibly emotional. I do not believe I will ever tire of hearing our dear friend 'Aunty Liz' retell me the conversation we had with her on her birthday. She was advocating for herself and her sister and Liz tells me "they are so ready to know you."
We are asking to join us in prayer for three things!
1. For our paper work to move and to be united with them by Christmas!
2. Lodging, it is summer in Peru and the available lodging at this time is scarce and way out of what we had budgeted for.
3. Flights..... YIKES.... again due to the time of year, flights are double what we had been seeing for months.
SUMMARY, to be with our girls by Christmas, that we can secure reasonable flights and that lodging would be found for our entire stay!
We appreciate your support and covet your prayers.
