What a roller coaster!!! A while back I wrote that God was/is redirecting us back to Chile. Here's the reasons why. 1. Nicaragua will be VERY EXPENSIVE! 2. Our ministry - There was a missionary here for MANY years and she was truly loved by the Chileans in part because she adopted two Chilean girls. This truly endeared her to many. We don't want people to think, "Our kids weren't good enough for you, so you had to go to Nicaragua??" 3. The Nicaragua process is becoming LONG - kind of like Haiti's process for those of you who know anything about that EXTREMELY LONG PROCESS!! 4. Doors here in Chile seem to be more open now to us, at least once we get our permanent residency visas. In the mean time we wait and see what God is doing.
So, what is He doing?? As we wait patiently we are praying. We are seeking to walk through doors that God brings into our path. For instance, my friend and fellow missionary wrote a blog about 3 hispanic children from California who need a home that is bilingual. So after seeing these 3 beautiful children, I wrote and e-mail to the LA county adoption services division. I still haven't heard back. Are these God's children for us? Or has God brought them into our lives only to pray for their forever family? The BIGGEST obstacle is that we are living out of the country, but without our permanent residency here, we are legally connected to the states, so maybe these are God's future Amundson children.?.! Please pray with us for Charlie (6), Ramon (4) and Tammy (3) that they would find their forever family soon, whether that is our family or not!!! Even a closed door is an answer from God!!!
