Today was a bitter sweet day for many reasons. One, today was the
last day we will get to see our Ethiopian Princess. It was sweet
because she interacted with Marla by giving us one big smile. Two, we
realized it will be a long road until she is fully interactive with us.
We know she is in great hands and she loves her care giver. Also,
today we had the honor of having a private tour of the Holy Trinity
Orthodox Church with Belay as our guide. To hear of the church
history and the personal impact it has had on Belay (I will have to
blog about that later). We realize the lack of church history in our
lives and were humbled by Belay and the church.
Tomorrow is our big day in court. We will stand with 8 other families
to pledge our love and support for the children we hope to adopt.
Continue to pray for us. There have been many upset stomachs over the
last 24 hours.

I loved that the Lord used a church so far away to demonstrate how far His hands reach into everyone's history. Photos?
