Well, I just got an email from Andy (pictures above are of Bourbon Coffee Shop in Kigali where Andy gets the internet). They are doing great and having a wonderful time! His meeting in the Minister's office is Tuesday (I don't know the time yet) and he is meeting with Veronique--YIKES! For those of you who don't know, Veronique is the lady in the office who is making adoptions very difficult and she is the one who seems to have a personal vendeta with New Hope Homes (Lionel's home) and who has made it exceedingly clear that another child will never be adopted from there. I am still believing that God is bigger than everything and that He can bring our son home, but this meeting with Veronique still has me a tad stressed out. That is a confusing feeling. . .I really do have faith that God can do miracles. . .then why is this meeting stressing me out? Because I'm a control freak. Yuck! So, please be praying for that meeting. I'll give you all an exact time when the meeting will happen, but pray pray pray!!! Pass along the prayer request to everyone you know! We would love to be able to bring Lionel home before Easter--God can work out the details!
Good news (I probably should have done the good news first): Andy sat by an old friend at church this morning (in Kigali). Her name is Rebekah Lewis--for those of you who are faithful blog followers, you know that she works at Lionel's boarding school. She is going to help Andy meet Lionel on Tuesday. The school, Sonrise, is big (1000+ kids) and he could have gone there and never found Lionel without Rebekah's help! So that is fun news! Andy will get to meet our son!
Thanks for your prayers! I'll be updating the blog every time I get information this week!
