Making Progress & Heading Home

We're making quick progress and hopefully headed home on Friday evening.

We saw the Krause's last night (who brought gifts of great joy... Mac & Cheese and nail polish). We also received a Visa Interview appointment for Wednesday at 3pm.

Here is how the process is expected to work: Wednesday we have our VISA interview. Should have Eli's VISA within 48 hours. Fly out Friday night at 11:45pm from Entebbe and arrive in Tampa on Saturday at 7:45pm (provided no delays in flights).

If we do not receive our passport by Friday we will not be able to leave & will have to change our flight tickets, just FYI.

Please keep this in your prayers over the next few days. 

We're asking the following from our friends & family and will include this in the final email updates each time, just as a reminder.

Visiting & Meeting Eli
1. Airport Party (Sat Jan 11th @ 7:45pm) Tampa International - All are welcome to join us! Most updates for the flight info will be posted on FB (if we are on time, delays, etc) However, you can track our flight# as well on your own if you don't have Facebook. (we will provide the flight # in our final update) 

2. Meal Deliveries - If you are interested in dropping off a home cooked meal or a meal from a local restaurant, please follow the link for more info. http://www.takethemameal.com/meals.php?t=OJQU0137#

3. Week 1 (Sunday Jan 12 - Sunday Jan 19) Please no visitors during week 1 other than Meal Deliveries. Please understand that we will be doing all we can to get Eli back into a routine along with getting accustomed to the time change and dealing with jet lag. We too will be a bit disoriented & tired and ask that you allow just our immediate family to help us through week 1.

4. Week 2 & 3 (Monday Jan 20 -

 31)

 We know that many of you won't be able to make it to the airport but would like to meet Eli. We ask that if you are planning to visit, please do so during either 11am - 1pm or 3pm - 6pm. Please call before you come. 245-1587 or 773-4695

We will both be back to work by Week 4 and hopefully Eli will be coming out & about with us by then to church & running errands.
