T minus 14 hours

The bags are packed, the dogs are boarded the house is clean we are ready to go! Wayne picked up a Cubby's ball cap for himself and Sam. Won't they be cute? I'd love to add a picture but it might have to wait; the computer is in high demand tonight.

Please pray for us!
For safe travel
For restful travel
No jet lag
Bright and clear minds the day we meet Sam

Peace for Ruth while we are gone.
Please pray for the Faul's who are watching Ruth.

Pray for Sam:
Our prayers all along have been that God would be preparing Sam to be a part of our family. Don't know exactly how that could have been done but we do hope he is ready for this new chapter in his life; that he won't be afraid of us and that the transition will be smooth please also pray that:

He will be able to communicate with us
He will like us (that always helps)
The attachment process will begin smoothly and that we will be able to intuitively know what he needs.

Next time we post we'll be in China! See you there.

" And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. so then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord." Ephesians 2:17-21

Martha, I'll be praying for all of your requests. I'll also "skype" you while in China! Safe travels!

Love you! Miss You! will be holding down the fort here. Ruth is getting along great with Jocelyn when I dropped her off. She was a little clingy when I first said goodbye but then I snuck out behind her back. Then I realized I had left her carseat there and had to go and bring it back. She saw me and completely ignored me! I don't think you need to worry much about her

love, Ryan

Martha,
We miss you all. We saw Ryan at church today with Ruth. She seemed to be happy and enjoying being with her big brother. We had Caroline Johnson spend the night with us. It was so sweet hearing the kids pray for Sam and your family.
We love you
guys! Kay
