I haven't spoken to Thandie is several days. The electrical panel that sends electricity to Thandie's house burned up. This had created a problem with charging her cell phone. Thandie's cell phone is Telcom which has been having trouble all week with their towers. And Thandie has spent quite a bit of time with Simion at the hospital, and is unable to have her phone on. So you add all that together and you have break in communication. I miss hearing her voice.
Here is a picture of Thandie. She looks so happy.
Many of you have been wondering how she is handling the separation of Savannah-Hope. Thandie is actually handling better than even she thought she would. She has a complete peace about the adoption. Thandie was so nervous that Savannah-hope would be afraid of Crystal or have a difficult time adjusting. But it has been quite the opposite. Savannah-Hope attached to Crystal right away and actually is now preferring Crystal over Thandie. Thandie is grateful to God for answering this prayer. God has truly placed Crystal in the role of mother in Savannah-Hope's heart. That has made the transition easier on everyone.
The Staff Babies! L-R: Savannah-Hope, Samuel (Henry's son), James Douglas (Rodney's son) and Heath (Rackson's son). Poor Heath has to wear girl clothes because we don't have any boy clothes at his size at the children's home.

An updated picture of Ida! She looks so beautiful!
This is a picture of 3 staff boys with one child from the children's home (Lil' Junior). Far left is Nathaniel (Lloyd's son), the little one in the front is Johnathan (Lloyd's son) and standing next to him is Junior (Rackson's son).
This is Christiana (Andrew's daughter) and Heather (Rodney's daughter). Most of the staff at Good Samaritan have had boys, we cherish these two precious girls!
**Savannah-Hope Update**
Crystal is going to be delayed in Malawi. She is not able to return to The States as originally scheduled on April 6th. We are waiting for the National Visa Center in the U.S. to log in her approved immigration form. Until that is done Crystal will not be granted an adoption Visa. So she is waiting in Malawi. It is unknown how long this will take. Please be in prayer for Crystal and her family. Her husband will need to return to work next week. They home school their four young children (3 seven year olds and 1 four year old). Crystal has never been so far away or for so long. Please pray without ceasing that they will the Johnson family will be united soon in Tennessee.
