A Whirlwind of activity!

Well here we are only 5 days from flying to Kenya and we still do not know where we will be staying....a little stressful...yeah! We are looking into a guest house that we heard about from another couple that is here adopting a baby boy. Actually we leave on the same flight to Kenya on Sunday. I met her at the immigration office this afternoon. The funny thing is that I had been in contact with her before through an adoption chat room and here we are in Africa at the same time and maybe we will spend 2 weeks together in Kenya if this particular guest house has room. I wish I could tell you everything that has happened in the past 24 hours but I’m sure I would bore you to tears so I will just say that we spent ALL day driving from one office to another trying to fulfill each demand of the minister and immigration. It was not looking good last night and I think I prayed most of the night instead of sleeping. There were some loose ends that needed tying up and it seemed there was noone willing to do any tying. There are only 2 notaries to certify documents in ALL of Rwanda and one of them was sick and the other has been on maternity leave for the last month or so and they were not expecting her back at all this week!!! As Brock and Robin were talking to the receptionist who was unsympathetic at the time…he began to pray…within minutes this woman not only became sympathetic but she made a way for us to have the documents taken care of the next day! There are so many other stories and I hope that over the next few days I can journal them all to remember all the amazing things God has done in these past 24 hours. As it stands we have everything complete! We were told this afternoon by the director of immigration to come back on Thursday to pick up JP’s passport. We then will have a few days rest and then it is off to Kenya to see what craziness awaits there!
