Today was just one of those days. We had to miss classes to go to the Office of Immigration for what we had hoped would be a relatively painless process to apply for temporary residency. It's been months of headache going through all the red tape and acquiring all the correct documentation and we were finally going to be done! Well, to make a long story short...God had other plans in mind. So after a frantic afternoon, thinking we might have to make a 72 hour trip to Panama to be legal again, then talking with a lawyer, and our school we finally figured it all out. By then we were worn out through and through.
I (Jamie) went back to the school mail room to get my backpack and as I picked it up I looked across the room and saw a package in the "H" box. "It's probably for someone else." I told myself like Eeyore, but then I noticed the name started with "H-Y-" I stepped closer "N-U-M" It was for us! Our first care package! The kids were so excited to open it...it seriously felt like Christmas for all of us! Everything we were stressed or bummed about this week went out the door.
Thank you Curtis and Anna (Caleb and Taylor too) we love you guys!

The kids are getting so big. I just love Caedon's smile. I bet it brightens everyone's day.
It is such a joy to hear about all your adventures and know God is directing each step. You are in my prayers. Love, Mary

Seeing the kids smile really made our day and made us miss you even more. Yes, Caedon's smile is just, je ne sais quoi, but it just grabs your heart and lifts your spirits. Wow. Love you guys.
