REFERRAL IS HERE!!!!

Today during lunch at Holy Family I got a phone call from GOL. Beth and Monique said they had been trying to get a hold of Jill but couldn't, and since no one was home, called my cell phone. They told me the referral was here and to come in when I get off of work. Jill happened to be coming to to read to students at Holy Family, so we went over after school. I called Jill before she actually made it to HFS, and she could not believe her ears. We are so excited. Now we are just awaiting travel approval from China, at which time we will get consulate information and make arrangements for an actual travel date. Stefani is 13 months old. Wow!

Congratulations! We are also with GOL and waiting for our Izabella since July 07--I will watch your journey with such JOY and wonderment...God is good--this is such good news for all--as your referral gives us all a warm heart as we wait. You mentioned HFS--I am a graphic designer and I worked in the foundation office as the office manager for a few months and still work with holy family to do all their graphic design--It's a small world.

SHE IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE AND "STANDING" AT 13 MONTS..wow..that's sooo wonderful. I cant' express my excitement for you. Hope we can meet some time. Pat in the foundation office knows how to get a hold of me--although I'd say you've got your hands full for now--maybe we can chat after you get home. Lisa Arndt--West Des Moines Iowa.
