Sign on the dotted line already.

Jimmy had his psychological evaluation done over three weeks ago and before the doctor could sign it, he let the country for a trip to the US.  Without a signature, the evaluation was not valid.  So, everyone was waiting for the doctor to return.  After three weeks of waiting, the doctor's office realized they could get another doctor on staff to sign it.  DUH!!  Altagrace (the Haitian administrator at the orphanage and overall fantastic person) went to the office the next day to get the form.  Oh, the doctor has left for the day AT 12:30 in the afternoon.  Altagrace made the trip the next day and was able to get the paper signed.  So finally all of Jimmy's paperwork is in Port au Prince with our lawyer.  Prayerfully, we hope to have all of our paperwork in IBESR very soon.  Although we have completed another step, we have no idea how much longer until he comes home.  We know we are one day closer than yesterday and that God's timing is perfect.  Please continue to pray for our file to move quickly from one step to the next and for there to be no delays. 

A little Jimmy news:  He is on summer break right now.  He did very well on his final exams and will move on to the next grade.  They do not return to school until October.  He is enjoying playing soccer in the new cleats that the ECU girls soccer team donated to CHCH.  He is also taking a conversational English class that Rodely, one of the older boys at the orphanage, is teaching.  It is pretty advanced with homework and long class sessions but Hunter says he is doing well.  We are proud of his efforts and his English is improving.

 Jimmy has been instant messaging through facebook like a pro.  He has had conversations with my mom and our friend, Mika.  I love that he is able to communicate with our family and friends.  I think it is brave that he reachs out to them.  Not sure I would be willing to strike up a conversation with people I have never met.  Proud of my son.
