Update!

Today was the embassy day. It was a very long day, but successful. We are approved and don't see that anything that would prevent us from leaving on time.

Today we bought coffee, tea, and Ethiopian spice. And some jewelry as a mission work through the guest house.

Tomorrow we are going shopping. The election went well in the fact that there are no riots. Then we will attend the other families farewell party at the orphanage.

We are almost done. Really, the Bethany staff has been really, really good. The guide is amazing and always with us and they all know Emma for a while so she is comfortable talking with them for us. The staff was really very good at the paperwork and keeping organized.

I will say ,I have not met any Ethiopian people that are not friendly. We are enjoying our time, but ready to be back home. I really miss the girls.

Emma has a great personality. She shares everything. She is acting appropriate,not overly affectionate, but trusting us slowly. She is very smart as well.

Okay, I have to jump off.

Hugs the girls. Tell them We love them and miss then. Almost there ladies! Mommy is almost home!!

HUGS AND KISSES,

MOM AND DAD
