We Arrived!

After many flight delays, travel headaches and God bail outs, we finally made it onto our flight to Addis and survived the 13 hour plane ride.  What a journey! 

We made it through the line for Visas and the wait for baggage and the chaos through customs.  Thank goodness it was busy because no one seemed to care about our 9 pieces of luggage going through the scanner.  We finally arrived outside and were met by Jonas.  He is amazing!  We drove right to the Yesabi Guest House, checked in, cleaned up a bit and then we went to meet our girls.

We Meet!
We were the only family there, so we had the whole porch to ourselves.  The girls are sooo beautiful...beautiful smiles, beautiful eyes, beautiful faces, beautiful sweet spirits.  We are so excited to finally meet them.  We are finally able to put our arms around these precious sisters and tell them we love them and that we will be their family.  We were only allowed a short time with them today, but tomorrow we will go back and be able to spend more time.

The rest of our week looks like this: 
Monday:  Transition Home (visit E and K)
Tuesday:  Meeting with doctors, visit Transition Home, deliver care packages
Wednesday:  Transition Home, Court apt, Traditional Dinner
Thursday:  Meeting at Transition Home

Please keep praying for us.  Thank you.
