Not much going on right now

Not much has happened since the last post.

School started for Rachael on the 16th (a week of in-service/training sessions and work time), with the students starting on the 23rd.  Things haven't quite settled down with the class loads and such, but it will all work out.

Chris is still working with Fort Bend ISD (on the Athletic crew) during the day and part-time at Wal-Mart (4 nights a week & Saturdays).

A friend finally talked with someone in the Demographic Registrar's office in Puerto Rico about Chris' birth certificate.  As of mid-July, they were just starting to go through the requests that arrived in early June.  They usually take about 2 months to process requests.  When asked if anyone spoke English in the office, the lady said 'yes, we all speak English.  I don't know why they wouldn't talk to your friend, unless they just didn't want to.'  Gotta love government workers!  The money order we sent with the request was cashed on August 12, so at least the papers are in the process.  We are hoping to get them soon (and hopefully they will be English-translated certified copies).

Haven't heard anything yet from our case worker. 

Trying to be very patient.

Trying to focus on work. 

Can't seem to get back into the 'School Groove'.

Please continue to pray for us during this time, as well as our children.  We are still about $8,000 short on the travel funds, but we are confident that God will provide it all in His time.
