Yesterday Carlos spent some time on the internet and emailed his sisters back in Kalamazoo. He ¨sushed¨us out of the room and said that he wanted to send us an email as well. Of course Craig and I could hardly wait to receive an email from a little guy who is with us!! His words:
Hola papi & mama gracias por todo nunca hava tenido un papi y mama como usted te amo.
Translation: Hi daddy and mommy I am thankful for you. I never had a daddy or mommy that I love so much.
Every day -todos dias- we hear Te amo mucho mucho mucho. I love you very much. We cannot even believe how much love we have for one another. So happy that we can be involved in Carlos´s life and he in ours.
Yesterday we visited a park and Craig was encouraging Carlos to jump to him from a slide. He counted uno, thres, quatro...one, three, four....needless to say Carlos laughed and laughed due to some poor spanish skills. He continued to wait for Carlos to jump but he was very nervious. Finally he did his Catholic cross on his chest and jumped. Boy did we laugh. Happy to see he connects to our heavenly father in times of need.
Today we visited a Salt Mine that now houses a Cathedral. It was an amazing experience. We were with an English speaking tour guide which of course made the experience that much better. It had 14 stations which depicted the journey to the cross. WOW. Picture yourself inside a mine with the largest underground cross in the world. It was a 30 x 60 foot cross. They actually have weddings in this underground cathedral and hold mass there every Sunday. Carlos continues to be our tour guide. When a woman wanted to exchange money with us, he would actually check the returned amount to make sure first, there was enough, and second to make sure it was real. Bless him for looking out for us!! Tomorrow we have our interview with the agency. Then, our paperwork will begin the process in their court system. Pray that the system moves quickly! p.s. Craig is still working on pictures

Wenke Family, We are loving hearing about your days and new adventures. It was great to finally see pics. I should never be amazed at God's plan, but I'm blown away at his hand in bringing Carlos to your family and your family to him. To know that it was all pre ordained just brings me to tears. Carlos, keep working with Craig on his numbers! Continued prayers for a quick and safe return. Heather,Scott and Peyton Davis
