We received a call from our agency this afternoon stating that we will not be traveling in July and at best, we will leave on August 8. Apparently, the department that processes the post-court documentation is taking a 2 week break for training. So, we were told to get the prayers going that when they reopen on Friday, July 24, that the new birth certificate will be completed. We have to have it in order to get an Embassy appointment. So, we need it done on July 24 or at the latest on Tuesday, July 28.
Also, we were told to get started on airline reservations because it is very likely that if we wait, then we will have difficulty getting tickets if we do get to leave on August 8. Of course, there are fees associated with cancelled or rearranged flights, so that's more $$$$$$$ but God always provides and has been known to stir hearts so that fees are waived! The good thing is that if we leave on the 8th, we will be returning home to the US on Jason's birthday - what a birthday present that would be for him to be able to have his daughter in his arms!

So, please join us in praying that the paperwork will be done by July 28th and that we can get a fast Embassy appointment after that!
