Just a quick update this morning . . . We had a very Ethiopian evening last night with dinner at an authentic Ethiopian restaurant, complete with a lot of singing and dancing; probably types from a number of different tribes . . . It was kind of over the top for us, but overall very entertaining. The dinner was buffet, and of course other than injera and rice, I didn't recognize many of the choices and I decided to play it safe and feel fine this morning =) I said on Facebook that I thought Rick Steves would be proud since it's the kind of experience he recommends . . .
Not too much new or different here except that one of the families here has their court date and all the others have their Embassy hearings, so everyone is a bit nervous. Usually those appearances go well but it is still nerve wracking after so many months of waiting and preparation. We've enjoyed the families; I think 3 are from Kentucky, one from Orlando, and one from Wisconsin, and they all have amazing journeys to this point. All seem to be strong believing families.
Not sure what today holds but we probably will stay here at the guest house and just hang out with the other families and the staff and do some schooling with Bethlehem. She may get her hair braided again . . . one of the staff gals is very good at it . . .
Blessings to all; please keep praying!
Love and hugs,
Judy (and Jaci and Bethlehem)
