coming back to Italy

Hi everyone,
As we sit here at Mike's mom's house in Chesapeake, Va, finishing up the last of the laundry so that we can go to the airport and catch the MAC flight back to Naples, I thank God for family and friends. We have had the most wonderful vacation. We were able to spend lots of time with family even those whom we haven't been able to see on trips prior to this one. And, were able to visit with friends that we were unable to find before also. We were so blessed. We also spent lots of time riding motor cycles, yes, even me!!!
I received a call from Mike's mom Patty a few days ago letting me know that we had received a package from the Vietnamese Consulate, of course I knew right away what it was. Our dossier docs!! Yes we have now received our first set of- certified, verified, and authenticated documents and they are ready to be sent to Vietnam. The rest should be waiting for us when we get back to Naples. Then we'll send them off to Los Ninos to send to Vietnam to be registered. Please keep us in your prayers for the funding to come for the adoption. We know that we are financially able to raise another child, but are still in need of the funding to adopt. We are putting this in God's hands and know that his will will be done.
God has worked miracles in our lives. Mike was given the opportunity to give his first sermon at the First Baptist Church in Grand Bay, Al. Hopefully it is the first of many to come. Keep us in your prayers as we pray for God's will to be done in our lives. We have been able to go to our home church in Decatur, AL and rejuvinate, learn some new music and have fun in the Lord.

Blessings,
Meg, Mike and Willow
