Trickles of News

I heard a trickle of news today. Beth, our caseworker with GLADNEY, sent me an e-mail and said that the person reviewing our papers for immigration was out of the office today but the other person said that everything was looking good..So maybe the papers will be on the move again in the next day or so on the US side...YEAH!!!! The Mexico side ,nothing yet. Today was the Dif caseworkers first day back from a 2 week vacation. If there is one thing I have found out down here it is YOU DO NOT PUSH DIF. They will freeze up on you in a minute. Plus I am sure she was flooded with catch up work. So Prayfully we will wait and hope that the US side gets things together about the same time as the Mexico side...Today we did our regular Monday in Mexico things. I go to the lavadoria and wash clothes while Sandra cleans the apartment. Then I headed to the grocery store and picked up a few things. Came back and started supper. My two burner hotplate takes awhile to tenderize meat. After it had cooked for awhile I turned if off and we ran over to Carlos' to drop off some papers from another American family that is adopting, for Carlos to take to DIF sometime this week. He started back to nursing school today,So we will have to work around his schedule for awhile. But he is real easy to work with. Carlos is a missionary but because of hard times in the economy in the states and Canada there are alot of missionarys that are having to leave the field and find work because so many people are scared to come down here with all the "Violence". Yes, there is an abundance of military and government police, all with really big machine guns but I know there are just as many killings in big cities in the US. The need for outreach for the LORD down here is excessive. I am praying that GOD will lead Hap and I back down here soon to do something. IFM has taken a big hit too, with groups cancelling. Soup kitchens are in great need of funding..The economy has been hit hard here also. Carlos was telling me of one that feeds up to 150 children in "one" colonia a "day" that is struggling to provide food. It has also started to except the elderly because of none of their kids can find work to help with just the need of food. We think that times are hard in the States, I am sure in places it is..but this city is unbelievable, just to drive around and look. It hurts my heart everytime I leave the apartment and open my eyes without blocking it out. God seems to keep my eyes wide open here lately..I think he is telling me something. Anyway,Sandra and I are good. She has a birthday Wednesday...the big 16. I am going to try and think of something special since Hap cant be here..I am sure all is going to be fine..Continuing to trust and rely on GOD for everything. Resting in peace that all is being done that can be..But hoping that soon I will be home for awhile to get this family rolling. We are at the place that we need to be with Hap at our HOME. Not this temp. place. She is getting restless and so am I. When it is GOD's will, away we will go...Please pray for our papers and everything to start coming together in GOD's time...Looking forward to seeing everyone.
P.S. To my husband,,you know the words..and the thoughts...Sleep well..I know that is where you are now..In dream land..I love you..
