Well...after much work and more waiting, all of our documents are just about ready to send to Eastern Europe.  We are having our fingerprint appointment at immigration office next week.  Then we hope to get our US approval quickly following that.  We are planning to go ahead and send the documents on to be translated so that as soon as we get the US approval form, our paperwork can be submitted quicker.  We are still hoping to travel in January.  Our fundraising is going well.  We are getting ever so close to having enough.  We still lack what I would consider a large amount, but God has provided so much so far that we have no doubt He will be helping us with the rest.  He is so amazing!! We also have high hopes of getting.
