Two Worlds Come Together

This week has definately been one of two world's coming together. As
we ventured halfway around the world, we never could've imagine who we
would meet. First, we met the Girtz family (Michael and Shelly). As
we began sharing stories late the first night, we found out that we
only live about 2 hours apart. As the conversations went on we found
out that we both had 8 year old daughters. The girls were all asleep
but could not wait to wake up and meet each other. Margo and Kylee
have been together every minute, and they love sharing this experience
together. Then as we shared pictures, we noticed that daughters were
both in the same pictures. It turns our that our two
Ethiopian princess are crib mates. The Girtz's daughter is age 4 and our's is
2. The care givers say they are great friends. Oh, what a great
experience this has been! We know that the Kuykendalls and the Girtz
will find ways to help these girls grow up together and for our
families to forge a special bond.

Thanks be to God for this connection.

Chow,

Mark, Marla, Kylee and Marcus.
