Thank-You

The final piece of our paperwork has *finally* arrived in ET. I just wanted to post a quick thank-you to everyone for praying this last piece into place. If you don't know the full story, here is the short version. The United States embassy in Ethiopia which will issue a visa for Benaiah to come home had incorrect information that our orphan petition had expired. We had this corrected in September. Then just this month, they alerted us that our "fingerprints" had expired (This is a funny term they use to refer to a criminal background check that accompanies a fingerprint scan). In fact, our fingerprints don't "expire" until December. Last week, I had the correct information re-transmitted to Ethiopia, and today, got the confirmation that the fingerprints and orphan petition have indeed not expired.

Some of you know this was a very frustrating week trying to 1. Find out what to do, 2. Get it done, and 3. Get confirmation that it was done. I know that the prayers of many have helped to make this happen and we thank you. Now we are off to enjoy the fair!
