Host Families Needed/Starving for Information

The deadline for families to host children from Russia is 4/15/08 and the deadline to host children from Latvia is 5/5/08. There are just over 60 children waiting for host families. If you or anyone you know would be interested, please visit New Horizons website to get more information. These kids deserve to learn about the love of Christ and to find loving homes!

That being said, I am starved for any information on Rebeka & Roberts! I want to hear how they are doing, I want to see pictures of them at Christmas (they were hosted by a family in Maryland), I want to meet them so badly! I'm so excited for summer to be here, I almost can't stand it! I wonder if anyone else is going through these same emotions--and I know they are! Our host training session will be on June 7, all day and we will learn so much more and meet other host families. I am very excited to meet other people who have the same heart as we do and whose first words when they meet us won't be, "You're crazy for wanting to do this!" :)

I pray every night with Eileen, Merrick and Adalynn that God will let Rebeka & Roberts know we love them and keep them safe and healthy. And we do love them--all of us! Merrick says, "Roberts? Rebeka?" all the time. It sounds more like "waburts" and "beka" but that's okay! :)
Please pray for their health and safety and for God to comfort them.

Thanks for your support and prayers,
Brooke
