Day 3-4 October 12th and 13th

I apologize in advance for grammar and spelling errors.  It is late and the power is on and off, I wanted to finish before I went to bed. 

The last two days have been a roller coaster emotionally and mentally and we continue in our frustration with the process.  I spent hours in town yesterday at our attorneys office and did not accomplish anything besides their mistakes that I have to go home and fix!  Some issues arose when I questioned steps in the process.  I believe that nothing would have been brought up about what was needed if I didn't ask.  Our attorney told us that the November, 1st deadline didn't mean anything and it remains to be seen after that day if we can still get in under the old laws.  What keeps us going is our handsome son and the thought of him coming to Bowling Green to live with us one day.  We continue to miss out on needed time with him.  As this gets prolonged even more we can't help but think about the precious time we are missing.  I know the time continues to be extended on everything being finalized but the rest of his life will be worth it when he comes home. 

Today was a new day and I woke up had breakfast and before I could finish someone stopped by and told me that Wisbens was at the orphanage asking everyone that passed where I was.  I finished as quick as I could and ran down to see him.  We picked up a set of spider man go fish and crazy 8 cards.  This was the best dollar we spent and after briefly teaching them by mostly pointing and  example we played for the next three hours.  The kids enjoyed it and I again was in awe at what little it takes to entertain these kids.  I was able to text with home and we set up a time to FaceTime with Jen, Maddox, my brother  and sister in law and their kids.  Wisbens was able to meet some members of his family he had not met before and it was a great experience.  I love technology!!  We were able to get Wisbens a couple of spider man shirts before I came and after we FaceTimed with my family I surprised him with the shirts. He was so excited that he would be able to take them with him. 

After lunch I was hanging out with the guys and and I went and got some crayons and coloring books.  It was not long before I had four kids in my lap coloring and many other kids running over to do the same thing.  I love this place and cannot wait to get here and see Wisbens and love the unconditional love the kids have as well.  I was able to hold some of the babies today and love any opportunity I get to give attention. 

After dinner tonight we had movie night because it was rained out last night.  We watched the movie in the chapel tonight in case it rained and it was hot and the mosquitos were unbearable.  I took a can of spray and caught every kid I could and sprayed them down.  The movie of the night was Ice Princess and we watched it in French with English subtitles.  It is definately not a movie for Wisbens and I but we made it through.  I walked him back to the orphanage hugged him and told him I would come see him in the morning before I leave.  I am heading out for the airport in the morning at 7:00 and hope that he is awake before I leave.  We had a few setbacks but overall it was a great trip.  I got to spend time with Wisbens and work with some great kids.  I look forward to returning soon!
