I have some emails I want to share with you.
Also, I forgot to put this tidbit up about the photos of the doggies in the previous post. The brown one, we bred last year for puppies and sold them to help facilitate our funds for this adoption. We made 3600.00 and thus far we are debt free in this process. Glory to God!!
We go to church in a town of 300. 300 people and our church runs 700 plus. Anyhow a Christian church in our small village had a missionary from Ethiopia come and speak a few weeks. God is so fun!! We have been emailing and this is the latest one she sent:
Amber, Good to hear from you. The weather is warm right now with rain showers now and then for spring. But it was about 84degrees today but feels like 90 standing in the sun. You can get sunburned really easily here due to the elevation. Also you can get elevation sickness if you don't drink enough water during your time here. The church that I work with has a guest house if you are interested. I will send the attach file so you can see the prices.It hasn't even been ten days and I went to a funeral for a little boy of 11 who got hit by a car. My friend is a pastor and it was his wife's brother. It was so sad to hear the sisters crying at the grave telling their brother to wake up while people are digging the hole a little bigger for the coffin. Amber you and Justin are blessing these little girls by giving them a wonderful home. Just remember if they are older than five that they have seen a lot of death already in their little time here on this earth. May God bless you both for this amazing gift that you are giving them. I don't remember what your question was from the first e-mail that you sent me. Could you ask the questions again. I have a question for you.

I also got an email for my lovely friend Maria!! You know who you are!! I hope you don't care what you shared but I wanted to let my other friends know your knowledge you shared. Her is a bit of what she said about what is to come:
Since we've returned we learned that some procedures have changed in Embassy practices. They're doing 10 families at a time and on 2 Monday's a month. I think it's the first and third. So you can 'kind of' (great talk for a teacher) guestimate when you'll travel. Also I'm thinking since the changes have been made with Central Authority (or whoever the big guns are) it's taken longer to get court dates so you can pray and count on your prayers being answered that all of the paperwork will get together at the same time and place allowing you to pass court the first time. The only reason it doesn't pass now is special circumstances. You know ALMAZ does her best to get all of the ducks in a row for quick success. (I've learned that moms have to go to court - or the relinquishing family.)

Wow, that's amazing you have an Ethiopina missionary coming. When? Where?
I meant Ethiopian! lol!
It's good to get the reminders about wearing sunscreen and drinking plenty of water. My son, who'll be traveling with my husband, gets sun burned pretty easily. Thanks for sharing.

No, we're not taking our kiddos..we have too many of them and AGCI only allows 2 people to go now and travel...So, just Will and I will be going...So excited about meeting you and the hubby and your precious girls...I LOVED them the first time I saw their pic sent out...I was drawn to their little faces for some reason...I'm so excited about possibly seeing them go home with you all while we travel..how cool!!
