ALMOST GONE.....

Well, It's only days till we leave. The craziness is on! We are still praying our new amended I-171H (immigration) will make it to the consulate in time. But we are almost packed, tight!. We have a full suitcase and some of ours full of donations for the orphange. I'm so excited to take them to the children.

My brain is on over load right now and I can't think..... so I'm hoping to be able to post when were there. Otherwise, we will have tons to share when we get home.

PLEASE PRAY FOR US AND OUR TRAVEL GROUP! We would appericate it.

Blessings.

"ADOPTION" shower for MERTALEM......

It was an Amazing day! Family and friends were there and the weather was beautiful (the day before was cold and sprinkling). Alot of people stayed and hung out for most the day, it was great. We had it at my sister,Dawn's, house. Andy has a big pole barn that he let us use. We went for the "Green" theme, new or used we would love it. Mertalem got sooooo much stuff! It's exciting to think she will be coming home to her own things. She will leave the Transitional House with nothing. I'm sad for her because she will have nothing from her past. But she will have "a future and a hope." I believe God and His word. It has taken me 2 days to clean and put everything away. Praise God! He is good. Not long now and were coming to get you princess.

THE UP'S AND DOWN'S .......AND THE ROAD OF FAITH...

We heard back from Terra at America World and we do need our amended I-171H to be in Ethiopia for our consulate appointment. With that said I quickly got the paperwork together and mailed to USCIS, immagration. That in turn needs to be processed and sent to Ethiopia buy the 15th. This is where faith meets the road...... Iv'e done the work and now we will pray and trust God. I will also continue my end by following up everyday if I have to or maybe calling our Congressman. But ultimately it is up to God. "Lord we need You! You are our Source."

In the meantime I will pack and get ready to leave in 1 week. I can't believe we will be meeting our daughter in 13 days. How amazing this journey has been. How faithful my Lord has been.

We would appericate your prayers. God bless.
