We really don't have anyting new to tell you since we wrote 3 weeks ago. We are still waiting on Callie's LOA. We did hear last week from the agency that they want to review our paperwork one more time. So we are hoping for it this coming week.
We did find out we are being considered for yet another grant from A Child Waits Foundation.
Prayer Requests:
*Callie's LOA
*That the girls start to bond to each other and that they are in Callie's room
*That we can travel before school and volleyball season start so Ciara can still go along
*Wisdom in knowing when and what appointments to have set up before we leave
*For health and protection until we can go to them
Praises:
*That they say they will move the girls together
*For all the financial support from friends and grants
We have started to rearrange the house to make more room for when the girls come home. We have changed the dining room into a play room and we know have the girls beds finished and in Ciara's room.

We had a very exciting week this past week. Conrad finally graduated from Manheim Central Friday June 10. Graduation was suppose to be June 9 but there was a threat made by a student earlier that day at practice that was reported to the police so they cancelled graduation for that evening. Conrad was to be leaving Friday morning for his trip to North Caroline and I was pretty sure he would decide not to stay to walk with the rest of the class. Well when the call came in Thursday night late that they rescheduled graduation for the next night he asked what he should do? We told him it was his decision. He decided to stay! I was soo happy. He didn't think it was that important to stay and walk with the class but when the threat came through Thursday he was disappointed. I was happy to see his change of heart and to have him realize that it is a once in a lifetime thing and to see that it did bother him. I think he chose to stay because of that change of heart. It was so fun seeing him with his friends at Baccalaureate and Commencement.

We are very proud of Conrad graduating Cum Laude  
Conrad found out at Baccalaureate practice that he had been
assigned to read some scripture. He wan't impressed that
they didn't tell him ahead of time.
These five have been friends since preschool
Zach Wagner, Jeremy Landis, Conrad, Harrison Myer and Drew Eshelman
They moved graduation back to Rettew Stadium for the first since 2001
It was nice to be on our home "turf" again

This will be Conrad's office for the next few weeks. Seeing lots and lots of Sage being harvested.
This is the circle of Love we have received so far for our girls remaining ransoms.
We have received 60% of the funds we still needed to be ready to travel when the Lord says GO!
This is what their puzzle looks like so far :)
We would like to raise the remaining 40% before June 30.
If you are interested in helping to finish the pieces to their puzzle
comment below and we will make sure you receive the information.
Thank you all for your continued prayers for us and the girls!
