Emily here. Look at that sweet angel!!  I just heard from Gwen.  Maggie did great in surgery.  They had to remove two ribs to make bone for her precioius head.  Apparently she was very agitated when she woke up with tubes, etc but Gwen told her a princess story and lulled her back to sleep!  The girl loves her princesses. :)

Please continue to keep Maggie and the entire Oatsvall family in your prayers!  Rejoicing in the Lord for this child that has changed many hearts, mine included!  We are grateful for His continued healing.  He indeed is Mighty to Save.

Thanks to Verna I am now connected to a yahoo group from Maggie's orphanage. Verna is always looking out for me. The above is a picture of her orphanage. She is in a very poor area and we will more than likely not visit the orphanage. It is over 8 hours away from Changsha.

Other News:
1. Elijah lost another tooth. He is banking his money for a big toy.

2. We had a cook out at a half way house for Restore Ministries. We pulled up and one of Scott's childhood friends was there. God is so big. Scott shared his testimony, we cooked out and of course Emily had everyone eating out of the palm of her hand.

3. Renovation of the house is almost done. We have enclosed our screened in front porch as livable house space now. I think Scott is getting ready for all the children God will bring into our home.

4. I got a new picture of Maggie's head burn and I think it looks great. I feel so blessed that God is caring for her till I get there.

5. I am super excited about Wed. ... Jeremiah and I are going out on a date for the day. I adore my oldest son and love to hear what God is doing in his life. We try to do a date every 3 months or so to have some one on one time.

That is all for now. I am so excited about some of my new blogger friends.... You all keep me so encouraged and focused on the BIG PICTURE !!!
