Letting steadfastness have it's full effect James 1:2

The flight was changed and the tickets purchased. Leon flies out June 1st and returns June 10th. He will receive the children upon arriving at the airport in Monrovia. They are staying at the Cape Hotel next door to the embassy. I believe they have a pool. That will be a first for Simeon and Patrick.
We are told that they might not have ever seen a white person or electricity before they get to the airport to meet their papa.

Here are the main reasons (in a nutshell) why we are willing and even eager to adopt:
1. We believe that God has called our family to adopt. Therefore we are happily accept this as a joyful burden.
2. God adopted us. Therefore we want to display the gospel to our children and the world through adopting.

Patrick and Simeon are real children without a family or home. They need Jesus and a safe place to grow up and experience unconditional love.
God has provided the funds needed every step of the way. We have paid almost $20,000 for adoption expenses over the past 3 years. $5,350 were given in donations and the rest came from skimping and saving wherever we could. This has all been God's provision.
Please pray about donating money to us so we can pay off the plane tickets and pay for the Liberian travel expenses including; food, hotel and taxi. We need a total of $5,300 to cover all additional expenses for this adoption plus approximately $3000 in attorney fees for adoption in the State of Idaho once they are home.
