Update

Got to Tallahassee in great time. Took care of the documents in great time. Went to UPS store and copied papers and sent to our agency (which they've received already) and had a great time. Had Panera Bread coffee for my drive back and it was great. So, Praise God, everything worked out Grreeeat!
(Haven't seen or heard anything about the first set of documents I mailed to Tallahassee, but that's no matter now anyway.)

I've been reviewing the estimate of the remainder of our costs. Praise God, He's provided for us in wonderful ways thus far. I can't wait to see how He'll provide the rest for us! It looks like we'll need approximately $25,000 more for the costs of things such as the country fees, Visas, child's medical, paperwork misc. fees. We'll also need an estimated $11,000 for travel and meal expenses (for both trips). Sounds like a huge number, but I trust God to supply everything, whether it be through gifts and/or through work. He's trustworthy.

Thanks for checking in!

What a stressful time here of late; so glad your documents have been sent and you treated yourself by going to Panera Bread.

God shall supply all your need according to His riches in Glory.
