we didn't wait long at all to get the ball rolling. and i love that we started on september first with the actual legal process, fresh month, fresh beginning. writing a letter to the heads of the missionary program in taiwan turned out to be more daunting of a task than we anticipated and were up to 1 this morning writing, erasing, and proofing.
you picture it. in one email, you're putting yourself out there. explaining who you are, as individuals and couples to someone you've never met. trying to explaing your background and your stability in Christ while also sounding not boring and that you love kids. :) it was a joint effort to write, but mine and jacob's writing voices are far different. we included pictures of ourselves...and even that was difficult...too professional looking, too serious, too artsy, this one's fun, we look normal and happy here. ha ha. though it wasn't requested we included full group pictures of our entire families because they are going to be welcomed into such a large group of awesomeness (see, there's that word again).
so. we just hit send. we thought on it all day and finalized it and just emailed it. eeks.
here we go.
like for real.
that email's out there. and someone's gonna read it. and they're gonna know we're serious.
this email was to see if the organization in taiwan is willing to work with us. the two missionaries that head it up pray over each applicant. which blows my mind and melts my heart equally. they are essentially the ones that place us with a child(ren) and so they have to give us permission to continue with the home study and so we were writing to explain ourselves as well as request to move forward. i have no idea how long that takes, could be returned back with info tomorrow....or in a week. we shall!
