THANK YOU!!

We are packing up today for the last time and heading home. I can’t believe we have been gone for 2 whole weeks. It will be so good to be back in Texas…home. Thank you all for your support and comments to the blog. It has been a life line to home for us while we are away. It has meant so much to us to share this with our friends and family and to have you seem so close while we are so far away. We appreciate every comment and word of encouragement. Thank you for taking this journey with us.

Please pray for Andrew. He is still not understanding what is about to happen. We are working with the translator (Alex) to explain to him. Bless his heart…when we talk of going home he is afraid he is going back to the orphanage…the only “home” he knows. Alex has tried to explain to him,z and we are using pictures of our house to show him, but he is convinced we are transporting him to another “group”. We will work with him more today with Alex. He doesn’t want to leave us and seems to have attached well to us. I can only imagine what is going on in his little mind…so many new concepts with no frame of reference to cling to.

We arrive in Houston May 29^th (will be the longest day for us 33hrs) at 9:30pm in terminal E-George Bush International. You are welcome to meet us there if you like…we will be exhausted but would love to celebrate! It may take us a little extra time to get through customs, because we have to go through the “special” line. Andrew and Kathlena will become American citizens as their passports are stamped on American oil for the first time!
