I have my first T-shirt picture of some of the teens at church that are praying Zalen Moise home. I love those guys :-) Still wanting your T-shirt pictures -- e-mail to fullertessy@yahoo.com -- Wanting to put them in a photo book for Zalen Moise so he can see all the people that loved and prayed for him.
Tomorrow is our second official "Wear Your Shirt & Pray Day" Right now there is several families in the DRC who are bringing home their children. All the families are adopting from AFDECO, which is the orphanage where Zalen Moise is. After this group -- we will be the next group. Can you believe it? Our director took over a picture book of our family (and paperwork) with her, so Zalen will be getting to see us for the first time. My friend Tami, that I met in KC when we did our fingerprinting appointment flew out on Sunday. She promised to bring back pictures. I cried the entire way through Alicia and Matt's blog post as they described meeting their son, Cohen, for the first time.
Please pray for safe traveling mercies for the families and timely exit letters. Also please pray for our director Julia who is doing some extra traveling on this trip to visit a new orphanage. Pray for her safety and that she can accomplish everything that she needs to on this trip.
On our end of things....we really need a lot of things to come together so we can travel before the end of the year.
• Paperwork - I just pray that you specifically pray that my i600 approval is issued quickly and we can proceed in a timely fashion.
• Emotions - I know as we draw closer and closer to travel it is going to be hard to keep up with everything and keep my emotions steady. Praying God's strength will overcome my very human mind and heart. Not sure that the reality of all of this has hit me yet. It all still seems far away even though we are close to bringing our boy home now.
• Pray for Zalen Moise -- I constantly pray for his protection against sickness and for his safety. But I also have been asking God to prepare his heart for his new family.
• Finances - Support letters are out concerning our matching grant through Life Song. We have already been amazingly blessed once again but at this point are praying to raise another $2,000 to be able to pay off what we owe our agency. We have until November 15th to raise this amount. Below is a donate button that will allow you to donate to our Lifesong fund. All donations are tax exempt. To read our support letter click here God has given me amazing peace about the finances and already has worked amazing miracles in this department every step of the way.

Thank you to each of you who are praying us through this adoption journey. Your love, support, and encouragement has kept us going. God's miracles and fingerprints are all over us bringing home our little boy. Just reading back on my blog makes me stand in awe of God's mighty hand. I will not forget all He has already done, but I know He has much in store as well.
