The first day!

May 30th will be an historic day in the life of the Moore family! The day we met our new children! There were many many successes today and we praise God for each one. We had time with the kids at their orphanage, at our hotel, and at the mall with lunch at KFC! We felt the bonding went really well. We are quite tired from the emotional and physical requirements of today so I'm sure we will sleep good! We will spend tomorrow with the kids as well.

Please pray for wisdom as we rent an apartment here in Huancayo for the next 2 weeks to complete the adoption process. We need just the right place in terms of location, sleeping arrangements, and a kitchen. Thank you!

Wish we could post photos but we can't yet.

First meeting went amazing! Older 3 kids were all smiles and ran to us immediately. It took T a few minutes to warm up to us. We are at the hotel with the kids by ourselves right now!

Arrived in Huancayo. Not what w e expected! Skinny roads, traffic, bustling people, horns blaring. We could easily be in India, it's so similar! Andes clothes instead of saris! Here it is the end of May when 10 years ago, Jesus said to Come out on the water. Here we are...trembling over tomorrow, trying to keep our eyes on His eyes and not the waves of our own doubts. "O ye of little faith, why did you doubt?" Claiming that as my answer that tomorrow will go smoothly and connections made in our spirits. That He has it all under control.

Waiting on our flight to Huancayo. Had a good meeting with the Government adoption department in Lima this morning.

Please begin praying that we get all 4 birth certificates easily and quickly. We found out today that 3 of them are in a different area of the city which may cause problems. Other requests: we won't have to pay much extra for bags on flight tomorrow and will get all bags to Huancayo. Also meeting with kids Tuesday morning! Thank u!!

Spent the day walking the cliff overlooking the ocean. Just met with Lourdes and she is wonderful! Got the timeline and our first meeting with the adoption agency is tomorrow (Monday) at 8:30am. The kids' updated pictures are their passport photos. Heehee! They've grown a bunch and look really different but still super cute! Fly to Huancayo tomorrow afternoon at 3:30! Getting closer!!

Arrived safe in Lima late last night with all our bags! Enjoying the ocean view today!

Arrived in lima!! Hotel near ocean! Greeted by the lit cross down the coast and reminded about the eternal-ness of why we are here...

Waiting in line for plane to Lima!

Here we go!

Two more days!!!

We have our first week in Peru booked including hotels, flights and meetings. Should meet our children on May 30!
