Another trip to the city, another big day, another tired mama. TB tests were given, children were very unhappy about it, and the tests will be read Monday. We stopped by the embassy to check on what we will need for our appointment and found out we will need to have family members present for the visa interview. This could really be difficult, so we will once again ask you all to pray and we are already praising Him for how he will move these mountains.
Tomorrow is Saturday, and I am thankful there will be no trip to the city. Chad stayed here at the orphanage today, and he forged friendships with many kids....particularly two boys named Brian and Henry who very much enjoy Chad's Star Wars characters voices. I'm certain there's no way I'll be able to match his popularity, but I'll have more time tomorrow to spend with kids.
We are still really uncertain about our return trip. It seems as if there is still a slight possibility we could travel home with the kids and arrive Christmas Eve. Claudia has agreed to travel to the US with one of us and the kids if the other one of us needs to come home earlier. My feelings are all over the board on this, with fragments of my heart in Iowa and other fragments in Uganda. The protective walls I constructed around my heart are crumbling with each day spent with Caleb and Hannah. Leaving them here will be difficult, and leaving Chad would be even harder.
We are going to eat some supper soon, and then we will have dessert and a movie with the Gwartney family. I'm looking forward to that and a good night's rest.

Oh, how I love GSF! Hug Amy and Carolina and their whole family and all the Greers and Katie and Amanda and Claudia from the Cravers of the eye care team! I will pray that the details get worked out and that in all cases you have peace.
So very excited for you guys. Living vicariously through you! I will be praying for those mountains to be moved in ways that only God can get credit for! Can't wait to read all about it!
I love you Heidi. Thanks for sharing. Nick and I are praying for you and Chad! xoxo
Wow! So much to soak in...we will continue to pray for you guys and for clarity in your decisions...so much weighing on your shoulders, but like you said, mountains WILL be moved!
