Greetings!,
Seems that this is a time of many changes- ministry changes, plan changes, and many diaper changes! God's faithful leading continues to sustain us through all of the changes occurring around us. Shifting sand is no problem for Him!
It has been two months since our last update, so here is the latest...
We were so blessed to have a great team from Christ
 | Team from Christ Community Church
| Community Church in Adkins, TX, come to minister to us and with us. What a blessing they were! Worshipers, teachers, chefs, babysitters, encouragers...they had it all! We also appreciate everyone from CCC that sent reading glasses, ibuprofen, toys,socks, and MEXICAN FOOD!
Patronela, our adult orphan with the baby, is spending the summer in another town learning new life skills. She is staying with an elderly couple and receiving some

Her being in another town provides a much needed separation from her baby as we continue to work on adoption for Alexandra.
Alexandra is a very active one year old. She just began walking in the last few weeks, though she was previously a world class speed

We have connected with a Christian family that is very interested in making her a part of their family. Please pray that God will make a path through the extensive red tape of post-communist Romanian bureaucracy.
God has certainly been busy answering prayers! As I read the prayer request list from the April newsletter, I realized that God has answered/is answering every prayer! Very soon, we will be sharing with you the details of a great new upcoming ministry opportunity which God has ordained. All of His plans are good!
Thank you for supporting us in prayer, finances, and every other way! God is creating amazing opportunities, and we want to be ready to walk through every open door so that Jesus can be glorified and draw many unto Himself. That's what it's all about!!!
Going for Him,
Leslie and Stephanie
