Praise God. We received the call yesterday morning. We have just two weeks from today to get ready. We are to fly to Kiev on November 2 with a projected homecoming around December 13. Here is the twist: We are here in Tennesee celebrating Sukkot until the 22nd and so will have about eight days to set everything in place after we get home. We are soooooo excited and also wondering how God is going to unfold all of this for us. We will truly be running on the power of His spirit and one ton of adrenaline.
Please continue to pray for my dad. He has been here in Tennessee with us and that has been such a deep blessing. He and my mom flew into Nashville and then drove up to the state park here at Paris Landing to celebrate. Daniel's parents and brother and sister-in-law are also here so it is wonderful family time. But as a result of the prostate cancer, my dad's bladder has been obstructed and infection set in after they arrived, messing up his kidneys. On top of that, the doctor he saw here said he has pre-pneumonia so he is on antibiotics and we are all praying that he will have enough energy for their scheduled flight home Seattle on Wednesday. Please lift him up in prayer and my mom too, that she be blessed and equipped in every way she needs.
If you're curious about our celebration here in Tennessee, we are just one of many gatherings around the country; Christians and Jews together studying and worshipping and praising Christ together; fully accepting and celebrating Christ as our Rock and Redeemer with the study of Torah as a blue print for living as believers. If you'd like to check out the celebration the rest of the week, you can go to www.sooj.org or www.sooj.com
I wish you could hear the whooping and hollering in our hearts. Little Maxim Matthew Campau, here we come.

Congratulations! We'll be praying for all of your travel plans to come together quickly and easily.
What a whirlwind you must be in!! It would be wonderful if you could be back home with your entire family by the holidays!!
Jenna,
Debbie pointed in the direction of your blog on her blog, and I just had to read the campau journy - it is beautiful. My husband and I are in the process of adopting from the same orphanage that you are going to. I am so excited for your family! We will definitley be praying for things to go as smoothly as possible in the Ukraine. Thanks for sharing your story.
I'm so happy for you! Wow! You will spend a LONG time in Ukraine. I can't help but be envious. We adopted from Russia and I always tried to "extend" our trip a bit....still, we only stayed two weeks each time.
We live in Michigan, too. In Lansing. I will enjoy following your blog.
How wonderful! I bet you are very excited! These next few days will fly by!
