It's Finally Here...almost

In 10 days Austin (my 17 yr old) and I will be boarding a plane to Ethiopia!
I still can't believe it! After all of the prayers, and the waiting, and the tears, and the friendships formed, we are bringing our sweet girl home!
We don't know when we will be able to come home.
We are going to be with Batri, and hope that we will be able to get a quick date at the U.S. Embassy.
Please pray for favor with the Embassy. That all of our paperwork will be there, and be correct, and that they will not have any other questions.
I am still having a hard time believing, and processing that she is finally going to be ours forever!
I mean isn't she just the most beautiful little girl in the world!?
We are so blessed that God has chosen us to be her family!

What you are doing is better than 1000 miracles, better than the wisdom of Solomon, than any preaching, what you are doing is Love, you found Jesus hungry and you are feeding Him, you found Him prisoned, sick and in need and you are there for Him.

I am so happy for you, and I envy you for God's favor is on you.

We love you and pray for you.
