Travel Dates and a BIG Prayer Request

I can't believe I am saying this but we got a call on Monday and learned that the orphanage finally has our daughter's passport which means we now have tentative travel dates!! We are thrilled! Our agency will have our definitive travel dates by the end of the week but right now we are looking to leave for India around January 24th, which just so happens to be a year to the day that we received our daughter's referral. Once we have firm travel dates we will be sure to keep family and friends posted.

Along with that amazing news we also have a very important and time sensitive prayer request. Jon's visa still has not been issued. We have waited since August and have been delayed with hardly any answers. Now we are at a critical stage. Jon cannot come with me to India without his passport and visa and in a mater of days we will need to book plane tickets. We desperately need your prayers for the Lord to move mountains. We have been unable to reach our contact concerning Jon's visa for over a week and a half and the lack of answers has been maddening. This situation has been heavy on Jon's heart since he longs so deeply to travel with me to meet our daughter. We covet your prayers and ask for you to intercede for us in the coming days. I personally have set aside time daily to pray over this matter and if you want to join me at 10am daily we can storm the gates together asking the Father to move mightily. I hope to have an update by the end of the week so until then please join us in prayer! We are so close guys!!!
