Trying to Comply

If you read yesterdays then you know where we are..Carlos called at 8am this morning and was told that we needed to write a request letter for what we want. Should have known this from the last time we asked for something. Anyway, if you want something from DIF put it in writing before you ask. Gladney and I had to write a request letter in spanish and send to them. SO, my day started with contacting Gladney as soon as Carlos gave me the news. I knew Carlos couldnt help me because he was in school all day. I called another lady, Gwen, who is doing an adoption and speaks very good spanish. She was in town and said she would call when she got in the area. Well 11am came, 12, no word from anyone. This let me know that our caseworker, Beth, was probably in meetings or out of the office. I had paced most of the morning waiting on someone,so by 12:30 I decided to try and write mine on my own. I got on the computer and did some translating,copied the header off another request letter we had used weeks ago, and then wrote it out. I then took it over to a neighbor who is Mexican and he only took out one word and added two..It worked!! Then I didnt have a number to fax it too and no fax machine. In this time I heard from Beth at Gladney and she got right on their letter. She faxed it over..I decided to e-mail mine to Sonia at DIF, and after doing this and thinking I would have to find a way to fax it to DIF suddenly I thought,"I will e-mail it to Gladney who can print it out and fax it for me". So by 3:30 we believe that it was all faxed to DIF..If DIF's fax machine accepted it.Oh yea and then Gwen called and was able to help but we had done it..PRAISE GOD!! Now we pray that they will get us what we need. Wait and see. Prayfully by the end of week so we can get it back to uscis and papers can get down here...YEAH,,we are getting closer. DAY BY DAY. Tomorrow I am suppose to fix lasagna for Mari and Marina,the girls that worked at the old orphanage, and the couple that they live with. Since we already have plans I am hoping DIF will call and say that the paper is ready. You know how it is when you have something planned,something else always comes up. Hopefully good things tomorrow..I am learning so much about myself and my walk with the LORD here. I never dreamed at 50 that I would be doing and learning to the extent that I am. I have a new appreciation of alot of things. I know that when times are hard that my strength comes from GOD and GOD only. No human can give you the peace that he can. No artifical things can do what he does. NOTHING. Only GOD..
