They are not having success accessing the internet in Addis, so I'll do my best to relay their updates! Even the phone lines are hit-and-miss. They will keep trying, but it's not likely that the internet will work. Keep posting notes, etc. either here or on FB as they will be a special thing for them to go back and read!
They had a long trip to Ethiopia, but arrived safely and without any incidents, so Praise God for that! They are having a tougher time with the jet lag and could use some prayers for a good night's sleep.
Addis is a place that is a full assault on the senses and they are feeling a little bit overwhelmed by it all. It's a wonderful and difficult place to be. She said they are definitely being stretched! They have been shopping the last couple of days, been up a mountain sight-seeing, been to a museum and out to dinner on bumpy roads with lots of new friends. In all that, they are also trying to relax some and just "be."
Tomorrow is the day they get to meet Isaiah, and they are very excited and hopeful. It will be a short visit, one hour, and I'm sure they'll be taking pictures and just getting in lots of hugs and kisses. Hopefully he will be in a happy mood and very receptive to them. Please pray that they will have a precious first meeting with their son.
