UPDATE

Well hopefully most of you have heard by now that Elias received his visa yesterday! We are so overjoyed and now are looking forward to him coming home. He takes a flight back to Mexico City this afternoon and then 2 buses back to Tulancingo. Depending when he gets to Tulancingo he will either get a ride home with his brother or take another bus back to Agua Blanca. I can’t wait to see him and finally hear exactly how everything went. But for now we are just praying for safe travels home and looking forward to Fiona getting to see her Papa. J We talked to him this morning at the hotel and he is doing fine. Also very excited to be home.

THANK YOU again to everyone who has been praying for us. We can’t tell you how much we have appreciated knowing that so many people are praying for us. It has been such a comfort. God is so good to hear our prayers. I am convinced that it is only by His will that we were able to get through this 11 month process and have victory in the end.

Not to be a prayer hog but we would still appreciate your prayers over the next few months as we pack up here and move. Here are a few things to be praying for:

We have a lot of stuff to figure out what to do with since we won’t be able to bring much with us.
Travel plans.
Getting settled into a new home.
An easy adjustment for Fiona and her parents too!
For a job or jobs once we get there.
That God will provide for us financially through our move and until we get jobs.
That ALL of our family will be able to stay close to us now that we are actually getting to move back.
For Elias’ family to be understanding about us moving and not to be too sad.
For Elias and I to be wise in all of our decisions and to trust God when we are feeling stressed

THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

Elias, Katie and Fiona

Katie,

I just ran across a comment you posted on our blog around this time last year. It said "whenever you get a chance, drop me a note, even if it's in like 2 months or something." Is 12 months ok?? LOL Sorry it took so long! I now have your blog bookmarked and will be getting updates as you send them. This way I can keep up on your life! So, you are moving back to the US? Idaho? That is pretty exciting! I'm sure your family will be glad to have you close : ) Talk to you more later...Jess
