Rivera September 2010 Update

Praise that adoption process is complete and that Yanina Ester (Tete) is now a member of Edgar and Lety's family.

Praise for the provision of a new home and that their move is finished.

Pray for all three of their children as they start new schools this Fall.

Rivera Special Prayer Update

A quick note to thank you for all your prayers over the almost three year adoption process. As of last Friday afternoon Yanina Ester (Tete) is legally a member of Edgar and Lety's family. They were issued an actual birth certificate with their names on is as mother and father as if she had been born naturally into their family. Must be a good sermon illustration in this somewhere.

Blessings,

Mike Ross
