MELKAM GENA!
posted on 01/07/2008

I know some of you are wondering what in the world that means! 
Well, it means Merry Christmas!  Today is the Ethiopian Christmas (as well as Greek,Russian and Egyptian).  Melkam means Peaceful and Gena means Christmas!  There was a discussion about this on our agency forum today and we found out that the presents aren't toys but typically a piece of clothing or a pair of shoes.  This will be fun to celebrate with all of our children next year! 
Still no word!  Please continue to pray for us!  We found out today that if we don't get a referral VERY SOON, a court date, and travel before the end of April, we are going to have to re-do some paperwork!  Not fun!  It's torture the first time around so I really don't want to do it again!   This will also cost us quite a bit of money so we are asking and trusting God for a miracle!

Mel,
I'm praying for you in this situation--I really, really hope that Duni was right and you are COMPLETELY done by April. Wouldn't that be grand? Well, grand seems like an understandment :)
praying for news soon (like this afternoon would be good),
apryl
