A special hello to all those Veterans who have served out great nation,
Thank you so much for your service to our country. You are greatly appreciated. May God continue to bless you and your families as you are now back home. For those who are still out on duties across our world, may God protect and continue to use you all in defending our own interests as well as those of our allies.
Tomorrow I will go with grandma Guo to the "protection" center again to get word in to the kids. Today Maggie was able to go to the office of the leader who is in charge of the 10 children. He was not in the office but the rest of the office workers were very friendly to Maggie and were very aware of our situation. They said the leader will be back on Monday. I have to admit friends, I am getting sick and tired of these delay tactics and I always have my doubts about this system. It is such a bureaucratic mess and yet I have to keep believing God is in control. It is a joke to say I have my doubts but it sure seems at times God has a very difficult time doing anything good here. I guess the reason I struggle so much with this is because of 10 beautiful faithful Christian orphans are being held against their will and desires. I can only believe I lack wisdom and God is going to "go above and beyond all we have asked and thought". Faith can seem so crazy sometimes, I am sure Abraham felt this way in the desert and for sure Job had his doubts about anything good coming out of his situation.
I keep my sense of humor through it all but God's grace has always been sufficient. On the sense of humor side of things, don't forget that my gender is of the "NO gender", just to remind you, I am Nothing Other or None Other and this is not to be confused with a Nothing gender or an Other gender. So my friends on Facebook, to make it simple again, I am "NO gender". This is so convenient because I can avoid all gender issues in one fell sweep. I am also free of any gender pressure or gender regulations and can therefore freely practice my God given rights. For those of you who are interested in becoming "NO gender" please contact NO office #0 for no information.
Now back to Maggie's trip to the leaders office. His people were very upbeat and polite and took the letter I wrote and said they will let the leader look at it and get back with us about uncle Ray going in and seeing the kids. The office people also said they were waiting for an orphanage representative to come and thought Maggie was with the orphanage that will process the kids paper work. We need to pray about this because my suggestion is actually to have the kids taken directly to the US Embassy and process paper work to go to the USA. If God wants the kids to stay here, my plans for the "Goose and Duck Ranch" will be implemented. Pray about God's will on all of this. I would love to have the kids in the US to help me spend a year raising money for the "Mordecai and Esther Foundation" as we travel the US to raise money and contact clinics and hospitals to build a network of medical professionals who will come to China for trips to do surgeries and hopefully to Africa some day too.
I will have to change my flight which will cost me at least 350-500 dollars, I just can't leave on the 9th of June as it is the 1st today. I am changing it to the 20th or maybe even later, fortunately the Alaska flight has insurance on it so I can change that much cheaper. Pray about all this. I don't want to keep blaming Satan for this, please Lord intervene.
On the Sierra Leone plan, I am also looking at other African countries like Kenya, Swaziland, Ethiopia and Botswana. Please pray about these new plans and for God to direct as HE sees the needs. I realize that almost anywhere in Africa there are incredible needs but He has directed me specifically with information from these countries.
China will always be a focus of my work but I know African orphans and children really need help too.
Thank your for your faithful prayers and financial giving. HE is doing great things and we all know that Blaza, David, Hannah, James, Rebekah, John John, Joanna, Sarah,Joseph and princess Deborah are a big part of those plans.
Continue to pray for the new Christians orphan boys. Samuel is in daily contact with them. Praise God for HIS grace on their lives. Hold the Gold kids up, I have no information on them or the dad. This seems very confusing to me.
Jiang Jia Yi is healthy but too thin to stand or walk, pray for her to get "some meat on her bones". She just doesn't have much of an appetite. The parents study with me daily and they tell me she never had much of an appetite. I am going to buy some Whey protein to add to anything she drinks. My Christian friends are all doing well and Sunday's are always "our favorite day".
Uncle Ray and the 10, Gold kids in daily prayer and many more orphans.
Enclosed is one of my favorite pictures before I got Joseph or Deborah. I can still remember a newspaper article accusing me of not dressing the kids well and how "the kids were in dirty old clothes all the time". How do they look to you?
