Uplifting conversations

We were able to talk with the girls foster mom at length on Saturday and got some valuable information. It was such a joy to talk to her. She used to be an English teacher so there is little lost in conversation. I got Lera's family history which will help to understand behaviors and attitudes. She is a strong Christian woman who has a heart of gold! Then on Sunday we were able to talk to the girls. They had been at a church youth rally this weekend and said they had a great time... Well Rita did. They are trying to wrap their minds around coming to America for ever. They asked about hosting and couldn't seem to understand they don't need to host again- they will possibly already be here! Their birthdays are coming up soon and I am gathering things to ship to them. Our dossiers arrived in Georgia today and will go with Wende as she travels on her 2nd trip. She will hand deliver to the lawyer on Friday. We are now waiting for translation and our invitation! In the meantime, we will be trying to raise the money needed for our first trip.
