We've arrived safely in Ethiopia and after getting a few hours of sleep we were thrilled to learn that we could meet Tizabit TODAY!!! It's official....we are INSANELY in love!! Our visit lasted for about an hour and each of us had time to love on Tizi and all the kids at Jane's House.
Levi attempted to play soccer with the older kids and ended up landing on the pavement...it's nice to keep him humble :) Jake worked on the art of "soccer dancing" with his little audience, Josie held as many of the babes as she could at one time, Marc is currently on a first name basis with our driver and everyone in our hotel and I....I'm still trying to take this all in. How in the world did God bring us to this point?

ReplyDeleteWonderful Mary! What a beautiful story! God has you exactly where He wants you...way to listen! God must be so proud of you!
ReplyDeleteWoohoooo, love it! So thankful you've safely arrived and I'm assuming successfully schlepped at that stuff right on through to the children. YES! It's great to hear of your goings-on and well-being. Three notes:
ReplyDeleteA+ on efficient, yet personality-filled recount of happenings.
For old times sake, "How's the shopping?" LOL
And, yes, I'll ring Momma at 'work' and give her the scoop.
Love,
Jr
Thanks for these updates. It sure helps my stress level (some...........)

ReplyDeleteGod has awakened me many nights and I always cover the Van Dams in prayer. I was so happy to hear you are already in love because that is exactly what I prayed for! Now, PLEASE POST PICTURES! haha! Love and blessings to all of you!
