We're still awaiting word that our paperwork is moving along and that there are some children out there who are waiting to meet us.
Maybe we're praying for the wrong thing... We have been praying for patience as we wait and wonder. This past Friday we went to see the movie, "Evan Almighty." Morgan Freeman delivers some pretty potent wisdom: “If a person prayed for patience, do you think God would just go “poof” and give her patience? Or do you think God would give her the circumstances in which to develop patience? And say a person had prayed that her family would draw closer together – do you think God would just magically make that happen or would He put that family in circumstances that gave them the opportunity to be closer?”
Ok, it's Hollywood, but it's right on the mark. We are definitely being given opportunity to become patient. And an opportunity for our family to come together when it is the right time.
Right now, we know that there are two children waiting for us to come. They don't know us, and we don't know them, but God knows. Pray for us that we have the opportunity to meet soon.

Bill and Cathe,
We know exactly where you are and the frustrations you are experiencing. Just remember that the light at the end of your long tunnel is worth more than words can ever describe.
It was great talking with you tonight and we look forward to meeting you very soon. We will keep you in our prayers until you return home safely,
David, Amy and Will Hall
