WE HAVE PINK!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got a call from Philip a few minutes ago and he said we have PINK!!!! Our appointment date is Friday, May 18 at 8 am and we are #20! Yikes! There are only 25 appointments each day, so we will be waiting for several hours at the US Embassy before we get called back for our interview.

One more thing...because we have been given a Friday appointment, that means we will not be able to leave Guatemala until Tuesday, May 22. The reason for this is because it takes the Embassy 24 business hours to complete your final documents required to leave Guatemala. So, our documents will not be ready until Monday, May 21 after 4 pm. We will not be returning to the US until Tuesday, May 22.

I am writing to the US Embassy to see if they have any earlier appointment dates due to cancellations. I have inquired about May 7 or May 8. It never hurts to ask and if it's meant to be, then God will make a way. If not, we will be traveling in 2 weeks and bringing Savannah home to the US on May 22, just 5 days before her first birthday!

Thank you Lord for answering our prayers! We are so excited that we will be bringing Savannah home soon!
