"once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act."
Proverbs 24:12

Ethiopia Trip 1 Day 2

We had a great day. We went to see the girls. They were so happy to see us. Both of them ran up to us. We picked them up and they gave us really big hugs. We spent time playing, jumping rope, & coloring. Emma and daddy kicked the soccer ball around and acted silly. I pushed Esther on the swing. Then we jumped rope with all of the older kids. They are all so amazing. It is so great to see them laugh and smile. The special mothers take such good care of them. I know they are sad to see them go because they really do love them. It is comforting to know they are in such good hands while we have to be away from them. It rained a little off and on throughout the day. The temperture was amazing. I could not have asked God to give us a better day. Around nap time Emma got upset. She let me take her, hold her, & she laid over on me and fell asleep. It was probably the most precious part of the day. Once she woke up she just wanted to lay on me and was so relaxed. We know she has been struggling with everything so this was such a wonderful thing to happen. We are so in love with them. After we left Hannah's Hope we went shopping with the Conroy family. They are also here adopting a daughter from Hannah's Hope.We were able to buy some traditional clothing for all 4 of our girls. Finally we returned to the hotel and ate supper. God continues to show us He is present in each step of this journey.
