Made It to Ethiopia!!!

We made it safe and sound to Ethiopia.

No problems, no lost bags, no hitches.

GOD IS SO GOOD!!!

 

 

The flight was awful, painful, murder but SO WORTH IT!!! When we touched down, we were both tearing (ok, Kim was full out bawling!). The visa and customs lines were long and the chaos that ensues when you exit the airport is more than overwhelming. So many hands out, so many sounds, so much smog!

 

 

However, the weather is GORGEOUS and we are so in love with this country and these beautiful people already.  We also LOVE the Luncefords, Duboise, and Koby families and can't wait to connect with the other crew. It's been a fun 24 hours already!

 

We are overwhelmed to have come so far in this journey. This adoption has been so tough and much of our tears are in remembrance of what trials and pain we have walked and what joy is to come.

 

 

Sherry, Kevin, and Girls- we wish you were here! You're going to LOVE this country.

 

 

Saturday Crew- we are at Addis View because of water issues at Yesabe. Bring hair dryers and exchange money at the airport to give tips to the wonderful staff. 20-30 burr is typical.

 

Can't wait to meet our boy in 2 days. I am still in awe that we are here and of God's amazing mercy to us already on this trip. 

 

Our mourning has surely turned to dancing and we are so blessed!!!!!
