Murphy's Law!

I'm sure part of this law involves waiting 8 months longer to hear from US immigration than what I was told to expect and then finally hearing from them less than two weeks after arriving in Kenya!
It's official, we recieved the letter at our TN address yesterday that I am supposed to report to Greenville, TN for my oath ceremony at 8:00 am on Wed, March 11th!
We feel like the timing is actually alright since it is still a month away from Abbie's c-section. Before leaving the US, it had looked as though we would be able to take care of the majority of the ticket price through airline miles but it seems that we are having difficulties redeeming our miles on such short notice! I will likely have to leave here on Sat or Sun this week which doesn't leave much time. Anyway, please be in prayer about the funding for these tickets. If any of you want to make a donation, you can send it to our AIM address with a note saying that it is for us and designate it to our Home Assignment fund. I will also be able to recieve any correspondence at our TN address during the short time that I will be there next week:

Reini Schmidt
406 Lake Dr
Piney Flats, TN 37686

In other news, we were able to visit with Abbie's doctor this week and she and the baby are doing well. It looks like the date for the c-section will be set for Thursday, April 2. Abbie's mom will be arriving on March 31st and we will be happy to have the extra help for 3 weeks while we get adjusted to the new baby!

Thanks again for your interest and your part in our ministry!

Serving Him together,
Reini
