Oh Happy Day!
We got the passport today! We went in at 2 pm (that is when they told us to come) and we brought with us a Ghanaian missionary who is staying in the same complex as we are. He offered to help us and truly without his help today, we would have left without it again. The kids and I waited in the car while Phil and Dan went to the passport office. 2 1/2 hours, 5 temper tantrums, and 3 people in the car crying later, we had the passport! Tomorrow we are off to get the children's medical exam. It is not humanly possible (notice I say "humanly") to accomplish the medical exam, get the results back and apply for our visa all in one day. However, we are going to do our very best to get as much possible as we can. We are sooooo relieved to have the passport!!! God and I had quite the discussion today in the car...well maybe not discussion, I ranted, He listened! Maybe I should change my account in the car to 6 temper tantrums. God is so good. And He would have been just as good if we hadn't got the passport! We are rejoicing in Africa!

Congratulations! We just found out the wonderful news! We have all been packing up the house today! We didn't have internet! Bummer of a day not to be able to check the blog a hundred times! Mom, Dad, Byron and I are all so thrilled that you all got Kathryn's passport! We are rejoicing in B'ham, WA for you all! God can do anything and we believe that you can get everything done and be able to get those visas and be back on Monday! We all love you and we will continue to pray for you!
Yippy! Rejoicing in California! We have had the FLU and haven't been able to check the blog the last few days and we're so thrilled that the Lord has provided Kathryn's passport! Can't wait to hear about the medical exams. THANKS for the pictures of the kids at the orphanage. Their faces are so sweet.
Such a relief to read this good news! He is to be praised for this one! Praying for everything else to go a little more smoothly and a little less like a cliff-hanger!
