Our agency (Adoption Ministry of YWAM) has blessed us by keeping in touch with Daniel and David’s older sister, Tigist.  They have helped her with medical care when she needed it, and they made sure she got some schooling – she will graduate as a hairstylist this August. We are so happy that they are able to help her in real ways.  That’s one of the many things we appreciate about the agency.
On top of all that, we are able to send updates of our family.  We hope and pray that being able to see the boys’ progress is an encouragement to her.  She did her best to look after them when they were younger (she was probably about 11 when she became head of household), and we know she cares deeply for them.  Recently, we sent some letters and pictures with Joy.  When Joy returned from Ethiopia she shared pictures that were taken as Tigist read the letters (with translator) and looked at the pictures.  These brought smiles to our faces and we think you’ll enjoy them too.
