Some News is Good News

Last week we got a call from Marissa. She wanted to give us a heads as to what they've heard from HSF regarding possible travel. It seems that they think that we could "possibly" be in the next group of families to travel. She said that while they haven't scheduled families for the end of May board meeting, they do not think that any Holt families will be traveling to that meeting which leaves June 13 and June 27 up for grabs. Needless to say we were thrilled beyond belief. We really have been praying for an earlier travel date than eight months from dossier submission. She said that she didn't want to get our hopes up but MY hope is is that they wouldn't have said anything if they didn't feel like it was going to happen for us. They are so extremely conservative in their time tables and we've had to push in the past just to get "maybes" when it came to some questions we had. They are very cautious about giving out specific time frames for referral, travels and paperwork approval times b/c it really is subject to so many variables. We were told that we may have an answer regarding travel by the end of this month! That would give us about five weeks to make plans! Pray for us!

I'm attaching some pictures of last weekend when we went to Lake San Antonio with our bible study group. Very fun! Especially since I slept in the camper and not in a tent with H and G. Tee, heeee....
