Travel Packet Arrives

Earlier today we received the travel pack from Heartsent. It was filled with all kinds of information about our trip as well as so many more instructions for things that must be done before we travel. Plane tickets have been purchased and hotel reservations have been made. We are gathering all the paperwork that we need as well as purchasing items that will be helpful on our trip. This is a very exciting time for us and a very busy time as well.

Work began on the church this morning. I am excited about the renovation to the church building, but it is adding stress to an already hectic schedule. We will get through the Easter holidays and then travel will be right around the corner. Heather and I will miss the awards day at school for our children and we will be gone for the last few days of school, but Rachel and Micah are great. They completely understand and they are just as excited as we are about bringing Eli home.

Please continue to pray for Eli and his caretakers. Also pray for a safe, comfortable trip for us. Please be praying for the day we get to meet Eli's birth family. We want to be able to share the love of Christ with them and present them with a Bible in the Mandarin language. Pray that God opens doors.

If anyone has some tips about international travel that you think would be helpful for us, let us know either on Facebook or as a comment here.
