Waiting on Esther's Visa (from Sherri)

8/5/2014

0 Comments

 
Today we had our big appointment at the U.S. Consulate. In order to bring Esther home we must have an American visa in her name. There have been delays the past few weeks so we are praying that at 4:15 pm Guangzhou time we discover if her visa has been issued without delay. China has been amazing, but we miss our other baby at home also.

After our Consulate appointment we got to visit Shamian Island. It looked like Savannah, Georgia smack dab in the middle of China. It was gorgeous as we toured around the little shops. One of the shop keepers was a believer and was so generous she attempted to give us a copy of her own Bible. The kindness in her heart was such a blessing. In the U.S. we have such access to God's Word, yet this sweet person was willing to give our family the only copy she possibly owned.

Esther is starting to show us her little personality as she will fit right into the Ausbun clan with her spunk and sass. It has been hard on her as she is just a toddler and our schedules have been very full. Please be praying for a safe flight home on Thursday and easy adjustments for our entire family as life will be very different once we return to the states.
