Day 2

Yesterday we experience a true Ethiopian church service. Not only did they have their regular service, but they also had a double wedding!! Something I have never been to in the US. 

When the people were worshiping I was choked up, I thought of Acts 16:25 when Paul and Silas were in prison and praising God and singing. I thought the roof of the church might blow off! I believe chains were broken and lives set free in that service. 

Today we meet our son after lunch. We did not sleep too well last night just anticipating this meeting. We also go to the main Bethany office and to another orphanage. 

Isaac woke up this morning and asked when we were coming back. I said, maybe never unless we adopt another child. He said, I want to come back when I am six!!! That is a good sign:)

He is loving being with mom and dad. One of the children of our host and hostess loves Isaac. He is older than him, but about the same size. Good thing soccer is a favorite game of Isaac's to play. 

We had pizza at a restaurant last night and met two more Bethany staff, one of them a lot of you will be familiar with, Sisay. 

The people who run this guest house help many children, 720 to be exact. What a ministry. After church Birtukan sat and talked with us over coffee about her vision and ministry. She could teach a class! 

The weather is beautiful during the day and cool in the evening and morning. It feels great to us. 

Tomorrow we will have news of our little Isaiah, I packed some clothes for him this morning. They look very little. 

We are about to eat breakfast so we will catch up again soon!

Love Andrea
