Abby Update 04/30/07

Dear Family and Friends:

I appreciate everyone's continued support and prayer as we journey through the waiting process to bring Abby home. I decided to use this format to keep everyone updated instead of trying to remember not to forget anyone on the email. I will try to keep this updated at least once a month or more often and additional news is available. Thank you again for the prayers -- keep it up. It is a big encouragement to me.

I have no new news to report. I am still in the waiting process. Apparently there has been another delay due to the Chinese New Year and associated holiday but hopefully things will get back on track soon. There is no real estimation of time when I will get the referral (photo and information on Abby) but it is estimated that once I receive it I will travel approximately 6-8 weeks later. Please keep Abby in your prayers and pray that she gets to come home for Christmas. There are still several groups ahead of my group. My LID is 03/29/2006 (LID - date documents logged in China) and last I heard they were working on October of 2005. Gladney is very good at keeping everyone in the know and schedules conference calls once a month. The next call is 05/07/2007 and I will post an update after the call. Thanks again.
