Leaving Soon!

It's official! We will be leaving for Ethiopia on August 7th! We really didn't expect to leave this early. It is pretty rare that you get an embassy date 4 weeks after you pass court. It usually works out to be 6. We are so excited that we will be able to meet Zoey Hiwot earlier than expected. If you would like to come to the airport for our homecoming celebration, we are scheduled to come back on Sunday August 15th at 6:00.

This is one of the most recent pictures we have of Zoey Hiwot. It was taken while Pat from our agency was there. Also in the picture is a nanny and Endris, an Arise in country employee. Endris has been very helpful and worked very hard on Zoey Hiwot's case. We are very excited to get to meet him when we go.

Thanks so much for all the prayers and support!
