make his praise glorious!
3 Say to God how awesome are your
deeds!....
...5 Come and see what God has done,
how awesome his works in mans
behalf!...
...16 come and listen, all you who fear God;
let me tell you what he has done for
me....
...19 ...God has surely listened
and heard my voice in prayer.
20 Praise be to God,
who has not rejected my prayer
or witheald his love from me.
After 169 days (5 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days) we finally have our daughters Mixco birth certificate!!
That was the longest "week" of our lives!! But, it is over, and now we can move on to the next step, which is getting her passport. That should only take a couple of days ~ who would of thought, it takes 5 months to get a b.c. and it only takes 2 days to get a passport in Guatemala?!? Then we are submitted to the US Embassy for our 2nd DNA authorization, which they call ORANGE!! Once orange, she has a 2nd DNA test, and when the results are back to the Embassy, they issue us our long awaited PINK slip!! The pink slip has our date on it for our visa appointment, and then we can bring her HOME!! We are still talking about a few weeks, but at least we are on the road to coming home!!!
Thank you all for your prayers, please continue to pray for the rest of our journey!!

P.S. I am so missing our frequent chats. I'm looking forward to hearing all about Anaya!
Stacy,
That is so exciting!!! When you told me you were out of PGN in NOVEMBER, I would have never thought in a million years that you would still be waiting on the birth certificate the following May. So glad that you can put this behind you and get your family home. Enjoy your last little bit of time Antigua. Savor each moment. Praying for a speedy Orange and Pink.

I'm so glad the boys just walked out the door to go to school. If they heard me scream "WOO HOO" they would have come running thinking I was a nut!! I am SOOOOO excited Ryan and Stacy!! Can't wait to finally meet Anaya. Bring her home to Zeeland soon.
