Approval and First Day of School

We are so excited to announce that this morning we received our approval from the Rwandan government to adopt a Rwandan child! We also sent three kids off to elementary school this morning, one in each wing of the school. We are praying they will shine the light of Christ's love in each wing of that building! It's a wonderfully joyful day at the Spore house. We could possibly be traveling to Rwanda around Thanksgiving time. Stay tuned.....

Our approval letter had August 12th as the date, but we didn't actually get it until the 18th:) We are so happy to hear about your approval as well- there is nothing like getting great news from Rwanda in the morning!

Your children will definitely be lights at the elementary. The other kids will see the joy in their hearts! Yeah for your approval. I hope to meet your new addition at Christmas time when I'm home!

Hi Heidi,

I am Heather's friend and actually found your blog linked on another blog I have been following. Crazy blogging world. I LOVE my shirt. I got the shirt in red and it is the most comfortable t-shirt I own. I am so excited that you are approved! I look forward to following your journey.
