We're coming home!

We’ll all I guess this will be our last post from Vietnam. This is an extremely emotional day for us. How wonderful that we will be home to celebrate Thanksgiving with our loved ones! We have so much to be thankful for this year. We’ve been blessed with so much more than we deserve. Jon and I definitely have a new perspective on how truly wonderful we have it. This country is truly impoverished and these people will probably never experience all of the luxurious that we all take for granted. It’s going to be hard to say goodbye to Bryce’s homeland. I have honestly fallen in love with this country and the wonderful people here. Once again, we have been deeply moved by all of your support and encouragement. We have had total peace about being away from Kaitlyn because we know that she is surrounded by the most amazing people who love her dearly. Honestly, we wavered about coming up to the very last minute. Our agency told us about all of the delays and denials and all of the families stuck in Vietnam with no word on a return date. They encouraged us not to come but offered their full support if we did decide to sign the risk waver and travel anyway. Two of the five families in our original travel group backed out at the last minute and the three families that did come had serious doubts about whether this was the right thing to do. WE ARE SO GLAD WE CAME! Things went smoother than we ever imagined and we our son will be at home with us for the holidays! We’ll be staying the night in LA tonight so we’ll try to post again from there. We are giving thanks with grateful hearts for all the Lord has done for us!
