My heart is overwhelmed. As you can see we got some new pictures of Mercy yesterday. I can not tell you how grateful Cody and I are to have Pastor Wilber in our lives. He graciously, offered to go check on her yesterday, even though this is a sacrifice of his time and money. He got to talk to the woman who is caring for Mercy and then the woman's husband walked Mercy over to the clinic for him to see. Wilber said that the woman's husband was in charge of getting her dressed yesterday and that he did not know how to dress a baby. Some things are universal, as I remember apologizing a few times for the way Cody dressed Emma or Avery. =) She looks healthy. I think she may have had a hair cut too. I love those chubby cheeks. The nurse says she is eating mashed food, eggs, bean soup, and fruit. By the way, she turned 9 months old this week.
In other news, I spent $115 yesterday at FedEx to ship all of our paperwork to our attorney in Uganda. Ouch! It should be there in about a week. Yesterday, I also bought a few things for Mercy. I went to a consignment sale last night and picked up a few toys. I can't believe it, but I was able to contain myself and not buy any clothes. Since I don't really know what size to get, I told myself it was not practical to buy clothes yet. And I have a feeling she will be spoiled rotten by a lot of people!
Please continue to pray for the situation with the courts and the US Embassy. I've read that we should have some sort of resolution within the next week, but who knows.
