There is so much to do and so little time to do it. Our plane leaves Des Moines Saturday morning at 6:30 am and we arrive in Ho Chi Minh City at 10:40 pm their time on Sunday. We will be landing in Vietnam while you folks are heading home from church.
We had good news last night. We expected that we would not be able to see Dong until Tuesday, but we get to go to the orphanage early Monday. They say we will be able to meet Dong. This is most unusual for older children. Parents usually do not meet their older child until the Giving and Receiving Ceremony which will be Tuesday.
We will be sharing our journey with another Holt family. It will be fun to finally meet this family that I have been corresponding with for the past couple of months.
I do not know when I will be able to update the blog because we are not taking a computer with us. Friends assure us that we will have access to computers over there...we will see.
Please keep us in your prayers as we meet our new son...and he meets us. We have so much to learn about each other and so little common language. Please keep Grandma and Aunt Katie in your prayers as they take care of the children left at home.
Blessings to all
