On Becoming "African"

The end game is getting Phin home. With that perspective, the more we've learned, the more it seems that joining this tribe doesn't help us get there. As a result, we've invested less of our energies in that direction although it remains a possibility. We are still waiting for the Department of Homeland Security to give us a response about Humanitarian Parole. They communicated to us that the process would take 60 to 90 business days, and we have now exceeded 120. Please ask God to move the right people to get us a response. At this point, we're okay with a "no". We just want to hear something, so we can feel settled or move home.

As for happenings at the home, life continues as normal. Each week, I play games, teach lessons, and tell stories, and I pray that God will use this to communicate to them how deeply he cares about them. Please pray that these precious kids will see that love and open their hearts to Jesus.

My hope is to begin highlighting different kids, so you can see their faces and hear their stories.
