Another update received from Michelle and Len - sent approximately 30 minutes ago (10:00pm local Ethiopia time - 1:00pm local Central time).
Well sitting in bed reading my book. The families that went to court yesterday and today did not pass. They were missing paperwork. All of them have had birth family meetings. While they are wrought with emotion such a gift they have to share with their children. Sad we will have nothing for our little one....
Feeling a bit under the weather. Took some decongestant and hoping to feel better in the am. Chugging the water too! Between the air polution and the elevation..tough. Yuck! Tomorrow is another day
We are hoping to go shopping a bit tomorrow as well as deliver the books to the Enat school here in town. We have four long days until we can see Joshua again. We are only allowed two pre court visits and one post court visit.
The food at the guest house has been pretty good. Much smaller portions and much better for our waistlines !!!
Two of the families we have met here at the house are heading home tomorrow. The other family leaves on Friday. We will have some new folks moving in here shortly.
I am really hopeful for a shower tomorrow. The water drips from the faucet and is freezing! Sponge baths are just not the same.
Please continue to pray for health for Len and I as well as our court date.
Hugs to all from addis!
Michelle
So thankful for our time with our little guy today.
Michelle-dear one-and Len, I can't imagine what you are going through to be in the midst of such poverty and need. We really don't fully appreciate our abundance here. You are in my prayers and thoughst and I pray that all goes smoothly and that you both are well. Blessings! Someday little Joshua will read this and know again how much he is loved and wanted!
