Here We Go

We will be leaving in a few days to pick up our precious Ethiopian princess. It's been a very stressful week with only 7 days notice to get everything ready, but we are very excited for this trip and to meet our girly in person. While we are gone, Talia is going to try to keep the blog updated. It's hard to communicate from Ethiopia sometimes...rolling blackouts, slow dial-up internet, etc. We will do our best to keep in touch with our children and hopefully you'll get to follow along as well. Please pray that everything goes well with the visas we need for Fasika. Some paperwork has not made it to Addis that needs to be there before our Embassy appointment. We also have to stay a day later than the other families to get a transit visa to go through the airport in Germany. Please pray that we find favor with both governments! Also pray as we meet our Compassion International boy and Haley's boy that she sponsors. Compassion is bringing the boys to Addis to meet us. We are very excited! I'm also going to need prayer about being away from the kids for so long. I'm sure it's going to go quickly, but it's still hard. They're going to be having a fantastic time with grandma and grandpa, and lots of friends. Thank you everyone who's helping with them during this time! Thank you to so many of you who have helped us out with resources, time, and money. We only had $200 to start this process last year, and now we are traveling with everything paid for. God is soooo good!
