We are going to Ghana!

This was taken of me with David when I was in Ghana in November.
He's grown a little bit since then! His birthday is the 26th!
Happy Birthday month, David!
----------------------------------------------
I can't believe I am finally writing this, but WE ARE GOING TO GHANA! I called the US Embassy in Ghana this morning and they granted our Visa interview for the kids on April 28th! So - the Beacon House Orphanage staff will take the kids for us on the 28th and their Visa's should come in a week. Of course, as it turns out, the visas usually come out on Fridays and Friday (May 1st) happens to be a holiday in Ghana and the embassy will be closed. So...we are not sure exactly what day the visas will come. However, we are leaving for Ghana on May 2nd and will arrive there on May 3rd (at night). We will see the kids on the 4th! I can hardly breath thinking about it! We plan to leave Ghana (with the kids this time!) on the 8th and will be back in the US on the 9th! We are pretty sure the Visas will come in sometime before we have to leave on the 8th. That is the new prayer request, if you don't mind continuing to pray for the Crawford family.
Our God is an awesome God! Praise Him!

  3. Praise God. I said the same thing to Lisa - but seeing you at the end of this journey gives me hope.
    I pray for your travels and for all that goes into bringing 3 children home. If there is ANYTHING we can do for you - please let me know.

    I am so in awe of what our God can do.
