God's Timing IS Perfect!

Today was supposed to be our court date, but as you know, for some reason we got seen early and passed. Well, today, in Ethiopia, the Ministry of Women's and Children's Affairs was closed, again. That means that none of today's court cases passed, for the same reason that we all didn't pass last time.
I would ask for you to please pray for those 3 families, as they are the same 3 that we had our last court date with, meaning this is the second time in a row this has happened to them. I didn't understand it the first time, and I don't understand it now, and I am certain that they don't either. So lift them up, praying for their strength, understanding, and trust in God's perfect plan.

Concrete Travel Dates!

We are confirmed to travel January 16th through the 23rd! We are in the process of booking flights now!

Happy 1/2 Birthday!

Yiah turns 6 months old today!!

It still looks like we are waiting on paperwork in Ethiopia to come through in order to confirm travel. In talking with our agency and some travel agents, it doesn't look like we will be able to travel on the 2nd. Even if the paperwork came through on time, flights are full up, so we are thinking we will travel on January 16th. One month from today!!!
