Soon Gordon & I will be flying to Honduras to look for a home. Please pray specifically for a house (with a yard--ha, any type of yard!) close to other families with children our boys' ages. One of our biggest concerns is for our boys to make a new circle of friends and to have a place for recreation. Making new friends made all the difference for our family during our adjustment to Costa Rica, so finding the right neighborhood is important.
We will be staying for about a week and 1/2 stint. During this time, we need to find a home to rent (hopefully under $1,000 a month ~ it's expensive even in a 3rd world country!), purchase all the major appliances (refrigerator, oven, and washer/dryer), purchase vehicles, and possibly home furnishings as well. If time allows, we also hope to meet with an attorney to start the process for our residency. It will prove to be a fast & furious week, but we are excited to take this next step! Please pray for wisdom & the Lord's guidance with all the decisions that need to be made during this time.
Please also pray for traveling mercies & safety. We fly out on January 31st and we will return on February 9th. Pray also for our boys while we are in Honduras and for their caregivers.
THANK YOU so much for your prayers & for all the encouragement we have received over the past few weeks! We appreciate you all more than you know.
In His grip,
Gordon, Christy, Jared, Zac, & Wil
*People ask how they can help. Perhaps financially you cannot support us on a monthly basis, but if you would like to, you can donate a monetary gift through purchasing an item from our registry both at Walmart & Target on-line.
Exciting times! The fact that we have 13 kids - practically in our backyard here in Shell has really made a huge difference for our kids. They have not missed CR at all - just a few people.
