Lots of news

We confirmed Friday that we will be leaving on Sept 26 (someone's Anniversary???) with an Embassy date of Sept 29. YEH!!! We booked our flights and got our guest house reservations. PRAISE: We were wanting to get on the Ethiopian airline flight direct from Addis to Wash DC. but the prices 3 months ago were VERY expensive- $2200-2800 range. God is wonderful and opened seats on the flight and gave it to us for $1600. Yippee!!!!! That is a huge blessing that cuts our travel time down considerably.
The guest house is also a huge blessing. (I never thought I would be saying that) The "suite" is available. This is a large room with private bathroom, living room and FULL kitchen. YEH!!!! It has an additional smaller bedroom as well which is where Amy will be sleeping.
Our flight back leaves Ethiopia on Thursday, Oct 1 at 10 PM (Lousiville time 3 PM). It arrives back in Louisville on Friday, Oct 2 at 3:30 PM. Another Praise: 24 hours vs 36 hours. YEH!!!
We also recvd another email that said Neima (The oldest girl) had a toothache and they took her to a dentist. We are very excited that she is being that well taken care of. YEH! Thank you Lord Jesus!
We are doing a bit of homeschooling "RV touring" of kY this weekend as our last hurrah for awhile. WE are making a list of all the last minute things to do before we leave. Thought we were ready--- well NOT. Have quite a few things to put together yet. I always do more than I should though. May have to rethink the list.
Outside of our adoption, we are so excited to hear other families that are thinking about adoption. We have recvd calls, emails, or just ran into families that are considering adoption. Our hearts are overwhelmed with families obedience to care for orphans. May the Lord continue to point each of these families in the right direction as they seek another child to join their family. You will be a blessing to each of those children who come home. YEH!
Well, off to see Daniel Boone's grave. :)
