Foreign Exchange

Last year, Robert and I talked about getting a foreign exchange student. We couldn't agree on the sex of the student, so we just quit the whole idea all together! We ended up having William move in with us in August (if you don't know the story, its a long one). I guess he was God's version of "foreign exchange". Although he was American, he was a complete stranger to us. He lived here until the end of November. Anyway, a week or so ago, a lady came to the church with a flyer advertising foreign exchange students. One of the countries on the flyer was Thailand. Robert was super excited! We talked it over and decided to call the lady for more info. Our thought was that if we are going to adopt from Thailand, why not host a student from there and learn as much as we can about the country. Robert has handled most of the process, which has been very quick and easy. We did decide that we would get a boy and our first choice country was Thailand. Hopefully, we will know more soon as far as when the student will come and the ins and outs of the program! Pray for us! We think hosting a student will be such a great experience for not just our family, but also for the kids at church! And, you never know where you plant the seed and it will grow!!!
