Finally Traveling!

We were just pulling into the driveway from completing our paper route.  Thom met us at the door and said, "Why didn't you answer your phone?"  Of course, my phone went dead during the last minutes of the route and I wasn't in touch.  We all came inside and sat down as Thom read another email from Bethany Christian Services (BCS).  This one was so exciting. 
July 15th - 22nd we will be in Hong Kong to get our precious boy Peter!
All of us were screaming and jumping around.  What very good news!   We thanked the Lord right away for His faithfulness to us and to Peter.  We are so much richer than we were a year ago!  Oh, that's right, it was exactly a year ago that we were at a BCS fund raiser thinking about how we were going to come up with all the money we would need.  A woman named Jodi prayed for us and reminded us that God had a plan for Peter and He would work all things together for good for Him and us.  And, exactly 4 years ago on July 18th we landed in Guatemala to get our boy Eliot.  What wonderful timing, what an amazing story God has written.  This is our reality and we are loving it.

So we called the travel agency that BCS uses and booked the flight;  2 going and 3 coming back.  God has helped us raise every penny of the costs so far, and we know that now, in the 11th hour He will not fail us.  We need some assistance for the last details of travel.  We pray that if there is anyone left, who feels led to donate to our travel to get Peter that you would please go to the Reece's Rainbow link on our page and click on the word DONATE.  We may not know who will be contributing.  But when you do remember what Jesus said to the people,
"What you have done to the one of the least of these, my brothers, you have done it to me!"

Thank you all so much.  We are very grateful for all of your prayers, support and help.
