Planning A Reunion

I cannot believe the time has come to plan a His Hands reunion.  This time last year we were waiting for court decrees and this year we are waiting to meet all of our His Hands family that was such a major support line during the wait and even now that we are home.
I am so excited to finally meet our His Hands Family face to face.  We have all spent hours on the phone and facebook and feel like we have known each other a lifetime.  Lord-willing, we will all get to meet in July in Kansas City, MO.  There will babies and children galore, what a glorious sight that will be.  And some are soon to be adding to their families again.  I love it!!!!!
We are hoping that Holly and Trena, both, or at least one will get to come too.  It would be so wonderful for them to see all "their" babies happy and loved.  I know it would melt their hearts to see the joy their efforts brings to so many families.  An adoption has so many ups and downs, and so many emotions.  But, I think this reunion will be nothing but love and happiness.  I want to love on all those babies. 

                                                        
Another reunion of sorts.........
We finally booked our tickets to return to Costa Rica in May.  It will be so wonderful to see all those that we met when we were there in July.  The people we met at the river have been asking about us and praying for our return.  We found out through, Kathia, our contact in Costa Rica that some of their homes were washed away multiple times during the rainy season.  The land that their homes are squatted on has now been purchased by someone and it not owned by the electric company.  These families do not know what they will do if they are forced to leave or forced to pay for where their homes are squatted.  When it was under ownership of the electric company, they only had to pay for their utilities.  And, even then, they were barely able to survive.  Please pray for these families and that God will see them through the road ahead and whatever they may be faced with.
