Now we wait

Hi! Well it's been a long time since I've posted! We had a great Christmas with our families. From there we went up to our Christmas conference (TCX - Twin Cities Experience) which is a 4 day conference in Minneapolis. We had 70 students from the campus go - the most we've ever had! It was an amazing time. There were moments when the presence of the Lord was so sweet. It's a great time (for staff and students) to connect with the Lord and has always been one of my favorite things in the year.

On our way up to the conference, we stopped at our adoption agency to drop off the paperwork to officially start the process to adopt Jee. As far as I can tell, the paperwork should have arrived in Korea on or near the 1st. So I'm starting our 12-14 week wait time there - we have 1 week done :).

Also, I had asked for prayer for Ben a little while ago. Here's a recent update from their blog:
"We have all been sick with a flu like virus. Ben is really sick. His o2 [oxygen] level is in the low 50s. He says that he can't see again and that he is scared. He hasn't eaten anything in three days. He just sleeps all day. Please pray for him to feel better and to see better again."
If you could continue to pray for little Ben, I would greatly appreciate it, and I know his family would as well.

Hi guys! We just got your update in the mail and were so excited to see a picture of Baby Jee! She looks like she's very well cared for right now, that must be so comforting to you as you wait to pick her up. We are praying for you during this time of waiting!

We are praying for you as you wait, and for Baby Jee! And we continue to keep Ben and his family in our prayers.

We love you!
