Coats, etc...

We found coats at Burlington Coat Factory (even though their website said they don't have little girl coats, they do carry them in store) thanks to Aunt Jackie! Thank you so much!! Their coats are perfect and look so good on them!

I guess we really only need a few more things...boots, gloves and toys and gifts to send back to people. Packing it all and getting it to weigh no more than 50lbs is probably going to be the second biggest challenge we will face in the coming week...followed by saying goodbye.

We found a picture on the internet of their orphanage director and found their orphanage on google maps so we have a better understanding of where they are. Although I was disturbed to hear Rebeka say that there are big boys in the room next to her group of girls. She was very excited though to show us where things in Latvia are and where she has been.

Our friends, Jack & Stephanie, received some discouraging news today that Russia is not accepting some kind of paperwork until August 12 and probably they will not have Anya home until September. Please be in prayer for them and for Anya as she begins school September 1st wondering why they haven't come to get her yet. You can read their blog and find out exactly what's going on by clicking on the link on our page.

Please continue to be in prayer for the host children in America that still need forever families. Selfishly I ask that you especially be in prayer for Rebeka & Roberts' forever family.
