THE BATTLE IS WON!!!!!!!


They WERE scared of me!!!! My agency called and we came out of PGN this morning!!!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!


I'll admit, at first I didn't know what to think---is this real?? OR will they call me in a couple of days and tell me it's not true? They checked and re-checked before they called me this time! Ha! WHAT'S NEXT??


Well, it's up in the air right now, but I am praying about leaving for Guatemala in a couple of weeks. Our appointment will probably not be for 4 weeks, BUT this Guatemama is not prepared to wait that long! I am trusting God to work out the details (and finances for me!) Scott will then fly down a couple of days before our Embassy appointment.


I will keep everyone posted as I know more. For now, I am just praising God for allowing this to be over! I want to thank y'all for all of your love, prayers and support! I am so thankful for my family, friends and the friends that I have made through this journey. I will continue to blog--I'll just have to change the header! It turned out to be a lucky Friday after all! THANK YOU, GOD!


Lou, here I come!

Hi. I found your blog online and for the longest time thought you looked so familiar. My husband and I think we met you in Dec. on our way to Guatemala for a visit trip. Did you leave on Dec. 20 from Atlanta? I think we talked to you in the airport. Anyway, when you posted your out I just had to post a comment. We received our out yesterday also!!!! God is beyond GREAT! Congratulations! We live in Westminster...about 10 min. from Clemson, so we are pretty close to ya'll. I hope we can be in touch!
