Checking In

Thanks to you who have been praying for Nathan. Today we took it easy, staying around the apartment doing laundry, visiting, catching up on the internet, etc. Nathan started perking up later this afternoon and even went on a walk with us to show Kerri the neighborhood, stopping for a coffee, and resting again at a park while Ellie played. Malaria flares up in cycles so it's hard to know if the antibiotics are already helping or if he was between fevers.

It's been nice to have Kerri here as a diversion. We've enjoyed the opportunity to get to know her better and makes these days in Tirana not feel like we're just killing time. She shares our hearts for missions and orphans and Albania, plus we're learning a lot about her home country of South Africa, too.

Working on another post so check in again soon!

As you can tell, I check your blog very often. So glad Nathan felt some better this afternoon. All this time, I thought Kerri was the daughter of the lady from Maine who prayed for Reni when he was 5 weeks old. I'm so glad she's been there for you. For my Sunday class who do not all check the blog, I am taking pictures on Reni and the rest of you to class tomorrow. I tell anyone who will listen to me about all the miracles that God is working for your family. Love and Prayers, Aunt Ruth

For Aunty Ruth - yes Kerri is my daughter - she feels God has called her to Albania and has such a heart for the Albanian people and is living in Elbasan, when we visited her last year we went with her to visit the orphanage and that is when we met Reni and started praying for him - Kerri has an amazing testimony regarding Albania.
I am loving following this Blog and just seeing how God has moved in joining this family together as one. I too tell anyone who will listen about God's amazing Love in all this - what an awesome God we serve.
God Bless

I just realised where the confusion came in about Kerri - Kerri and I are South Africans - Kerri living in Albania and I am now living in Maine, USA, my husband and I moved here three years ago and are living with my son and his wife and two boys.

Doreen, we thank God so much for your prayers for Reni!! We so appreciate Kerri and all she has done for the Waggoners and little Reni. Cydil and Nathan have told us of their special friend,Kerri. May our Gracious Heavenly Father Bless and Keep you in His loving care. My husband and I vacationed in Maine in the fall of 2009. We loved the light houses and the ocean. We are praying for the embassy meeting tomorrow. Reni needs to get home!!!
