Quick Update

I am sorry for the long silence! We have been without Internet since Wednesday morning, and it is still out. TIA (This is Africa). Geoff bought a SIM card so we could do a few things, and I wanted to share a quick update. 

Geoff leaves tonight, and I am so excited for him to be with Mary-Michael and Frazier by tomorrow afternoon and to just be home. Ah, home sweet home! I'm slightly jealous if I'm being honest, but I am believing Leila and I will be on our way in just a few more days. We've had daily trips to the Embassy and Air France knows us well by now. We spent 2.5 hours at the Embassy this morning with Leila. They completed the investigational interview today, but can't process a visa any faster than 24 hours, which means I have to stay here for the weekend. So, we went to Air France to change our tickets again. They had some grace with us and booked us to leave Thursday of next week but we can move that up for free if we get her visa earlier. We have paid 2 change fees already, so we were very thankful. There is a flight Monday night and another Wednesday night. You can guess which one we hope to be on. I. Am. Ready. 

Leila is doing well and learning more English each day. She is really so sweet and happy. We are blessed.

Thank you for your prayers and encouragement. Each one is precious and encourages us. I look forward to sharing a larger update when internet is back and/or when we are home.
