Still waiting! We are not sure how long this part will take so are checking our e-mail often, but no news yet. I think when we hear we can finally start preparing for a new arrival without it feeling too premature! We are both keeping busy at work and visiting family, and have booked a short holiday during our Easter break to give us a treat after the hectic year we have had. Would be great if we hear news by then, but bot sure we will. We will keep trusting and praying ...

Our papers have made it to Peru! They took a while as the weekend interrupted them, but they are there. Our lawyer is sorting and translating them, and he says he should be able to present them to the government within the next few days. We are not sure how long it will take to be approved, but it will be a big relief when we are! We are grateful for all the support we have received, and are now praying that

• the board are happy with our papers
• they don't ask for anything else
• they approve us soon.

Will let you know when they are officially presented.

**** UPDATE ****

8:20pm

We have just received this message from our lawyer:

Hola dear Catherine and Luke,

THIS MORNING your documents were submitted to SNA; please pray.

Our papers are in the government offices of Peru! Please pray that we get accepted, and soon ...

Just a quick note to say that our papers got back from London and were posted to Peru last night. It took quite a while this time, but we are really praying that that is it this time! We will track them again to Lima, and then wait to get approved. Let's hope that happens soon- one couple had to wait four months, other less, so it's a bit unknown at the moment.
Again, God knows and He is in control!
