Update

I know we have all been anxiously awaiting an update. I do have some news...

First, the Ukraine Orphan Outreach kids do have a visa appointment in July and are on track to arrive in Colorado on July 28th! They will be here through August 15th. There are eight orphans coming ages 10-12. Have you ever wanted to touch the life of an orphan but weren't sure how? There are many ways that you can help with this camp from bringing a meal and sharing it with us, buying a welcome gift or $25 Walmart gift card to bless a camp kid, to joining us for our community dinner where the kids will help prepare and serve a Ukrainian meal to us (which they love being able to give back), chaperoning a field trip, etc. Check out UOO's web site to see pictures of the kids and the opportunities to help out with the camp. http://www.ukraineorphans.org/

Regarding the two children we were expecting to host all summer, they were not able to get a visa appointment until August 4th. If their visas are approved, they will be here for the month of August. We are trusting God that however it works out, it will be to His glory.

Hi, I found you through Felix and Heidi's site. Are you in Colorado? We are! I hope your kids can get their visa appointment soon. We are hoping to meet the UOO kids this summer and have our hosted girl meet them, too.

Looking forward to the kids' arrival and keeping track of all of your good times!

Your family, those in Colorado and the new arrivals, is in our prayers,
