Update from Florida on Saraphina and Olivier!

Greetings,

(My name is Kim and I'm friends with the Bettin family -- I just talked to Jennifer and she asked that I post on her blog and Facebook.)

John and Jen's flight got into Florida on Saturday morning and at about 12:30 Florida time, they were waiting for the Red Cross van to pick them up to take them to another airport in Orlando where Saraphina and Olivier were!! Jennifer said she knows a lot of people were praying for them as she was very calm when they first met the kids! (Thanks for praying!!)

Both Saraphina and Olivier (as well as all the kids from the orphanage) are quite congested as the air quality they had been breathing since the earthquake has not been the best. Saraphina and Olivier coughed a lot during the night, so no one really go much sleep. Olivier is taking a prescription to help his congestion.

Jennifer and John are REALLY looking forward to coming home and being united with Jacob (and being in their own home, not a hotel). Please pray that their flight back to MN would go well -- they plan to arrive back to MN on Monday sometime after 3:00pm.

Please also be in prayer for one of the boys from the orphanage that has been hospitalized with pneumonia (because of all the congestion) .... and for his adoptive parents.

I'm sure Jen will post again here just as soon as she can; at this time, she doesn't have access to be able to.

Thanks for caring for the Bettin Crew of FIVE!

Praise Him,
Kim

John and Jennifer and family of 5,
What wonderful news that you are ALL back in MN safely, after meeting your two Haitian children in Florida, spending time with them, and now HOME! Now,- to meet big brother Jacob :o) I am sure he is very excited!
Many prayers from family and friends have been said on your behalf these past days. Grandma Marge has kept us informed - wow! is she one very excited Grandma.
Will keep checking your blog for more news.
With continued prayers,
Marlene and Harry
