We've Missed You!!!

Praise God! Our laptop is fixed, and we're able to communicate again! Some quick computer updates: the laptop had several viruses and hard drive problems. It was supposedly repaired but still it didn't work. A team of the equivalent of the Two Stooges arrived to repair it. While they were here, one servant tripped over the wire while they worked and the other servant who is deaf and mute laughed and made funny gestures about them while they worked. We desperately needed my brother who is a computer expert and who even offered to repair the laptop long distance. However, it was in the shop for several days. We have no other access to computers here, so if the laptop doesn't work, we have no access. Also, Someira is having final exams at her university and has to use the computer frequently this week. If you don't hear from us daily, this is probably why.
Thanks to my mom and Angela for keeping all of you posted on the recent events! Wow, it has been a difficult week between our computer issues and the disappointing news from the immigration department.
Let's go to the praises! Nadeem went to the US Embassy in Bangladesh yesterday where they were ready and waiting to help him. They had already received the email from Charles Spry of Senator Isakson's office telling them to redo the fingerprints and immediately FedEx them to Nebraska where someone more qualified is ready to process them quickly for us. Thank you to all of Senator Isakson's staff!!! Also, Nadeem had to sign a form saying he's not a criminal (really!) and get it notarized. The immigration department will use this combined with his Gwinnett County police clearance report to approve him from what we understand. All of this was completed on Sunday, and the fingerprints were FedEx'd this morning.
We'd also like to thank my cousin Tena and her husband Butch for their amazing support of us this past week.
Someira just knocked on the door to say she needs the laptop, so let me close for now with this:
Habakkuk 3:17-19, A Hymn of Faith says "though the fig tree may not blossom nor fruit be on the vines; though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food, though the flock may be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord is my strength!"
Our Hymn of Faith says, "though the fingerprints were still not approved nor is there a paycheck for Nadeem, though we cannot celebrate Thanksgiving with our family and still we are homesick in Bangladesh YET I WILL REJOICE IN THE LORD, I WILL JOY IN THE GOD OF MY SALVATION. THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH!"
Never think for a moment that God has forgotten us! We have living proof of His love and His miracle that we hold in our arms every day! Right now Nadeem is feeding our precious miracle, Miss Kalina Moriah Kaiser!
God is our deliverer! We'll see you soon! Keep praying! Keep the faith! We love you all! More soon.....
