Well, there's alllll good news over here! I found out Friday night that my brother-in-law decided that Kathryn can go to Uganda with us. Wuh hoooo! I'm so excited for Kathryn to experience Uganda and be with us. It will be life changing for sure. Kathryn found out the good news on Saturday when she returned home from a mission trip of her own. Now she's off brainstorming careers in missions.... Nice.
Kathryn and Anna have accepted the challenge to raise $500 for the Ugandan street kids and Betty's orphanage -- skin officially in the game. :) You can see their blog or donate here. If you live in their area, watch out for the fundraisers!!
Then, Friday night, there was a stinkin' monsoon around here. Something like seven inches of rain in a few hours' time. But this time (having flooded twice in one month two years ago) I was prepared. Flood control system? Check. Dry basement? CHECK. So happy. :) Praying for everyone who got swamped out. It's the worst. Been there. I get it.
Today, it was great to see my friends at church and talk about Betty and pray. I had a completely unexpected surprise when I got home. Turns out our social worker (who has a 9 week old baby at home) GOT MY DCFS APPROVAL ON FRIDAY and sent out packet to USCIS. So as of Monday, USCIS will have the documents necessary to approve Betty's immigration to the US. And all of our docs are in Uganda, so we're ready. Go, go, go GOD!
Last, on a less, um, clean and appropriate note, Seth requested poo-poo in the potty three times today (before going) and did it in the potty each time. NICE! We're almost there -- determined to have only one in diapers!
