Our friends Jeff and Chris called with news that they have a court date in Ethiopia!\u00a0 Their court date is December 4.\u00a0 In addition to our rejoicing with them, the significance for our home is huge – they are adopting two friends of our precious Daniel and David.\u00a0 The boy they are adopting is absolutely the BEST FRIEND of Daniel and David and the girl was also close to them (boy, I wish I could post names – but I can’t).<\/p>\n
Two nights ago, Daniel shared with us that when they first met the boy, he “no love Jesus” (that is, he was not a Christian).\u00a0 But that, over time, he came to love Jesus.\u00a0 Daniel said he was present when “he” prayed to invite Jesus into his heart!\u00a0 What a joy (and I wish I had that story on video to share with Jeff and Chris).<\/p>\n
When we traveled to Ethiopia we were privileged to meet these two beautiful children and to share with them that we would see them again – in America.\u00a0 I believe they understood us and I can’t wait to see them again and to see the joy on Daniel’s and David’s faces as these best friends are reunited here.\u00a0 If court goes as hoped, Jeff and Chris will most likely travel in January.\u00a0 Please join us in praise to our loving God for moving this long-awaited adoption forward in His own perfect time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
