Take two & three, maybe

Rob left for Haiti early this morning.  His travels were uneventful and made it into Port au Prince around 4:30 Haiti time.  Jimmy and his Aunt Macienne made it there around 3:00.  They were picked up by the Heartline guesthouse, which I highly recommend if you need a place to stay while in PaP.  Upon arrival, Rob called Robert, Chances for Children's lawyer.  Robert informed him that Kelitta, the C4C creche director, had received a call from USCIS that the appointment had been changed to December 6.  There are a few things weird about this.  Number 1:  We have not received any communication about such changes.  Number 2:  If you remember, they did not want C4C to be representing Jimmy and/or us in the adoption.  Number 3:  Why would they call at all?  USCIS isn't known for showing much consideration.  Rob got a little excited about it all; but after some phone calls, texts, and emails, everyone has calmed down.  They will go ahead and go to the embassy and see what happens.  If they inform them of a change, they are going to explain the logistics of traveling to PaP and expense of making the trip.  We hope it doesn't come to that.  Their appointment is at 10:00 am EST.  That is 9:00 am in Oklahoma.  I ask that all of you pray for them during that time.  However, I would like someone praying continuously for them from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm CST.  I still have open spots for 10:30, 11:00, 11:30, and 12:30.  Please pray for peace and patience for everyone.  Pray for wisdom that Rob will know when to push and when to wait.  Pray for those interviewing them.  That they will feel the love we have for Jimmy and understand the need for him to come home quickly.  I will also ask that you pray boldly for a miracle.  That Jimmy will come home with Rob.  I had someone ask if that was possible.  I said all things are possible with God.  I believe in Him and I know that "in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28.  He has gone before us and He is in control of tomorrow and our adoption.  I have confidence that no matter what happens God will be there in the middle of it all and it will work for His glory and His purpose.  That gives me peace.  I will update tomorrow when all is said and done.  Thank you for your prayers.
