Amazing!!!!!! Memo
I can't hardly believe that two years ago today you all prayed us home from Guatemala.
I am happy to tell you that Memo is doing great. He is in the fourth grade. He loves his teacher and has lots of friends at school. He is bright and smart and even learned how to fight with his brothers. You'd never know they were adopted.. HAHAHA I just wanted to once again thank all of you who supported us and prayed for us and even cried for us. I know we couldn't have done it without you. We still continue to pray each and every night for all those families and children waiting to come home once and forever. We pray so hard especially for Ronaldo, Julia and Dawn. We won't stop until we get to finally meet these two sweet kids face to face. Just wanted to share a ray of sunshine. For those of you waiting....... I can't believe that this past TWO YEARS went by so fast. The TWO YEARS that we waited for Memo to come home seemed like an eternity. Thank you all.
