Before the foundations of the earth were laid God knew you would be in our family-what a gift he is giving us!

Modern technology is getting us closer and closer to our girls without even being in the past week being in Haiti yet.  Through the wonders of Facebook, I have "met" several other families who are adopting children from Lifeline.  I have also "met" the full time missionary who lives at he orphanage with my girls.  You can't imagine the feeling that wells up in your heart as you read a message from Facebook that casually says, "Oh, I live at the orphanage with your girls and I have been here since the day they arrived."  It is thrilling to know that you girls are only an email away from us right now.

Even greater, is seeing God's family at work in our lives.  We cannot be with you yet, but in the time that we wait, there are amazing servants who are coming to see you and bringing you little treasures.  There are people who seek to impart the wisdom of the gospel in your lives.  There are servants who are willing to travel to Haiti to clean your teeth, listen to your hearts beat, and build new classes in your home.  And becasue God is a lavish God, he is then willing to prompt those folks to reach out to your fmaily in Virginia and give us updates on you.  We now know that Sunshine is a vibrant and bright light at Lifeline.  We know that she likes to sing and dance, and that she is a sweet and loving little girl.  We also know that you are sweet sisters who have been thriving since the day you arrived.  We know that you are healthy and well.  We now know that your name is pronounced "Sleigh-ee-ka" in Hatian....we have been saying it wrong.  We hope you'll understand!  But one of the best things is that we keep getting these.....
