December 13-16, 2015
I realize that the title mañana is Spanish but it just fits the way I'm feeling right now. For those of you who do not know any Spanish, mañana means tomorrow. When we've been in Cuba we heard this word frequently. If you asked when something was going to happen the answer was always, "Mañana." You soon learned that mañana might mean tomorrow, 2+ days, next week, or sometime in the future. This seems to be what's happening with our paperwork.
Yesterday we left Odessa at 5:30 am for a 4 1/2 hour trip to get new passports for the kids. It was 12 hours later that we returned to Odessa and I'm happy to say we have new birth certificates:) so they are officially Fabers! Next they need new identification (with their new last name) before we can apply for their international passports.
Today we ran around getting more papers signed. We had a farewell lunch at the orphanage and people said their good-byes. Now we are very excited to have our new daughter living with us.
On Monday, I finally figured out how to respond to people's comments but I can only do it on my iPad! I've tried several times, unsuccessfully, on my laptop. I guess I'm a slow learner but being persistent paid off!
I don't know how many of you use the Today devotional but I have felt that the last few seem to have a message for me, they were titled Worth Waiting For, Impatience, and Waiting Quietly. God uses many different ways to get his message to us.
Being in Winnipeg for Christmas is not looking likely anymore. Please pray for speed and patience for us as we wait.
