I left a message for Rachel, although I suspect many others did too after sensing the panic in your blog entry. We are praying for your speedy and safe return. Hang in there Keith ... what stories you'll have to tell your daughter when she grows up!

[Cathy Baxter]

Dear Lord, please protect my brother!
Keith, I couldn't be more concerned for your safety. I've been checking your blog every day hoping for good news that you and Kamina are on your way home. However, sounds like you've hit many, many snags in the process. I called Rachel as soon as I started reading your blog and got your answering machine. I'm going to try your other number as soon as I go back upstairs. I think you gave us a cell #. I'll try any numbers I have until I reach her for you. Keeping this short since you don't have time to read them anyway. I love you and am praying for you both. Cathy

[etta, pittsburgh]

Rachel, what can we do to help? etta
Keith, will definitely contact Rachel!!! etta

[Betty Scofield]

urgent request
Since today is the 15th, Rachel must have your urgent message. Keeping you in my prayers all day. Betty Scofield

[Erica]

Keith, I can't believe all this is happening. Will the baby still be able to come back even if you don't have a passport for her? If you have the paper work for the adaption will that not work for the U.S.

[Erica]

Keith Can you get on a plane and come home with the baby and then worry about getting her into the U.S. I'm sure that the U.S. will grant a temporary visa card until you get the approval, you have the adapotion paper work.

[chris byers]

Keith, will be constantly praying for your safe return----family and all. The Lord will never give you more than you can handle, and we both know it, and we both know that He is watching over you and this situation in particular. Be safe. Blessed Be, Chris Byers (sue's team)

[Brother Bill]

we pray for your safe return
Keith, So sorry to here of the problems getting home with Kamina. We are praying that the problems will be resolved without further delay. Why can't Sen McCaskill do something? I'm sure Barack had room on airforce one when he came back... just kidding. But he could have thrown a couple of freeloading reporters off the plane. Take care. Bill and Linda

praying
Rachel and Keith, I'm praying for you and your baby. I know that God will see to it that everything is in place for their departure. I'm so sorry that you're having to deal with this apart from one another, however I know that you are worshiping the same wonderful God and anxiously waiting for his plan to take shape. Keep your eyes on the Lord and never waiver from that. Marla

[Linda Kent]

Did your wife get in touch with you yet
Keith, I just read the entries. Do you still need any help. I noticed that the last entry was the 14th. I did not want to make any calls if everyone has been contaced already.
