Oops...just found that this had never posted from January 29. The curse of unreliable internet access:
Happy Tuesday!!!
No news yet, but I had a great weekend with Catrina! I was also able to get her Friday through Sunday, then again yesterday afternoon. For the most part we just hung out, did some crafts, etc. We had a great time just being together!
Yesterday was the championship soccor match between Extollo (the Haitians building the Orhpan Village) and Lemonade (the Haitians building the new hospital). It was SO much fun! There was a Haitian band and we all marched down to the Salene for the match. Extollo won, but it was tons of fun for all! Including Catrina!
Last night I had the opportunity to chat with Pastor Dan (the Missions Director for the Caribbean) and found that he has actually spoke with our lawyer. Hopefully he's going to be able to give her a call to see if he can: 1-establish a liason for us to call to get regular updates and 2-find out where we are in the process. Please keep this in your prayers! I am holding out hope that God will accomplish both of these and that we will find out that we are out of IBESR while I'm here this week. In such a case, the next time we come to Haiti just might be for a court date. What a blessing that would be!
One other prayer request. We have a friend Nancy who is in the process of trying to become a missionary to La Gonave. Please pray that all the pieces will come together to make this desire a reality if it's God's will. Please also pray for peace for her regardless of which way it goes.
PS. I'll post photos when I return!!! :-)

Back in Haiti!
Merry Christmas!!! Happy New Year!!!
I sincerely apologize for the lag in posts...we have had absolutely no progress or news since our last trip. Christmas was particularly hard with obviously one empty seat at our table and a whole in our hearts that can only be filled in Haiti. God carried us through and we continue to trust that He is going to bring our sweet girl home in His time!
I am back in Haiti and back on the island of La Gonave as of last night. I'm here for a mission trip and conveniently getting to see my girl each night! What could be better?
Unfortunately not only did we not get to meet with our lawyer on the way in, but she has appatenly fallen off the grid. She's proven to be unresponsive with all attempts to contact her...we are praying that God will move her to work on our adoption, and also praying specifically that our dossier (formal application) will come out of IBESR while I'm here. God has always proven to make big things happen while I'm here in Haiti and I'm praying boldly and expecting this trip will be no different.
Please join us in our prayers!
