We finished painting Eli's room this weekend. Bought a toothbrush, an Iowa sweatshirt, and some snacks for the plane so we are feeling ready!! Called the insurance company, scheduled his first Dr.s appt when we get back, and picked up some children's Ibuprofen. We are working steadily through our lists of things to get done and ready for Eli's homecoming. It is fun to be in the home stretch and know that it won't be long now.
Last week we received an email from Bethany saying that they are hopeful we will get the August 31st Embassy appt. That means we could be to Africa and back in just 3 short weeks. That is so crazy to think about. We have been planning, praying, anticipating, fundraising, and now the time is actually coming! Please pray that we get our official invitation to travel early this week. Each day that passes costs more money in plane tickets!!! God knows all of this and has gotten us this far so we are resting in Him while we wait to hear the actual details.
Many of you are asking where we are financially, we are still a little short. If we get tickets early this week we are around $900 short, if it goes longer we will be paying more for our tickets. I have heard that the invitation could come soon or could be as late as Friday even. We still have 13 necklaces for sale at $20 a piece. Also some tshirts left at $15 a piece. Sizes will be posted below. Thank you to everyone who has helped us get this far, we are so full of gratitude to all of you. We will keep you posted as the week continues.
Tshirts sizes available are.... 1- 2xl adult
5- XL adult
6- medium youth
4- small youth
3-XS youth
