Hannah Receives Our Gifts!

A family is in India right now to bring home their little one from VCT. They were willing to take a doll and photo album to Hannah for us. We'll never be able to thank them enough for the priceless pictures they took of her receiving them. They sent us 6 pictures! Below is the note we received:

I have a present for you! There may be more after we download from the other 3 cameras that were in the room, but here, at least, is a starter set from my father's camera. She is just BEAUTIFUL! Quiet and shy. Maybe even a bit timid. You will be so blessed when she joins your family. Let me know if this email is too large and I need to break them up for you to receive them.

Also, on their blog http://aliensenroute.blogspot.com/ they mentioned how well prepared their daughter was for this time of transition. Finally, we have been praying there would be someone in India teaching our Sunshine about Jesus. Are you sitting down??? Someone from Peoria, IL comes in every week to teach the children from the Bible! Wow.

I just have to share a portion of one of their posts. I couldn't agree more:
"Today when we picked up Sneha from Vathsalya Charitable Trust, we were treated to a whole series of songs from about 20 children including Sneha. Some we had heard such as Jesus Loves Me, Lords Army, If You're Happy and You Know It, and others. Some of the songs we had not heard before. My favorite was Satan is a Loser-Man. I gotta try and find the words to it. The song cracked me up. Later, as she was taking a brief nap in our hotel room, I started thinking about the song again. At first, it simply made me smile. Then it made me smug. You see, Satan really IS a loser-man. That twerp tried and tried and tried some more to wreck our ability to bring her home. He threw all sorts of obstacles in the way to cause delay, distress, discouragement, and doubt. With the Lord leading the way, we pressed on. Today was the culmination of several years worth of significant effort. And today, Satan, loser of all losers became a Loser-Man all over again. Think about that a second. The ruler of all evil, the great deceiver and destroyer....Failed. Big time. Totally."
