Update from Ethiopia

Things have been amazing. We arrived Thursday morning. We were greeted at the airport by our great friend Abel. It was so great to see him. It has been sooo long. We then came to the hotel and got cleaned up to go see massi. We were shocked when we went to the orphanage. He was waiting for us by the door. He ran out straight towards us and greeted us with a big hug and kiss. I think he is ready. The day at the orphanage he hung out with us the entire time. He is such an awesome kid. Yesterday we were able to go to the orphanage again. We also had our appt at bethany and then headed to birtukans house and had an amazing dinner. We are headed this morning to awassa to visit massis birth family. It is about a 6 hr trip each way. Monday we pick maSsi up and have our embassy appt.
Thank you all for your prayers. We are also celebrating today that the other 3 families got their clearance for travel.
