While we are all getting settled in the house again and focusing on getting Julia big and strong, George has been busy, busy, busy. He has been running all over, in and out of town working on things. What has he been working on so much? Buying land for the orphanage. At last after two years, we finally have land for the orphanage! Praise the Lord! Buying land here is very tricky. It requires a lot of steps and involvement from the community. There are lots of meetings that are held with the village chief, village land officials, the current land owners and the neighbors.



Now, the land is in our name! Woo hoo! There are still more steps to complete before the process is finished, but in the eyes of the village and it's officials, the land is ours. In addition to the ongoing land issues, George has been working on getting our permits as well as getting Julia's birth certificate. It, too, is a complicated process. It's a busy time and often very frustrating for George. Please pray for him as he continues to work on these things... and praise the Lord with us for the progress on the land!
