New Tesfa picture and updates

Our social worker (Rebecca) was recently in Ethiopia to escort a child to the United States. While she was at the care center in Addis Ababa she was able to spend some time with Tesfa. Rebecca called this past Thursday morning and I was able to ask her all sorts of questions. She said that Tesfa is quick to smile and she could get him to laugh easily. She said that he seemed inquisitive and really stared at her when she was holding him. It was great to get this report from someone who was recently with Tesfa and saw him in person. Rebecca also took some pictures of Tesfa that she recently emailed to us. The picture above is one of those that Rebecca emailed to us. Grant says that Tesfa is practicing for his senior pictures!

We also got a phone call on Friday saying that we can start to make travel plans! This will be a big week as we look into travel dates and plane tickets. We hope to have all of our travel plans set by this time next week. Please pray that we can find somewhat reasonably priced plane tickets and that all the details will fall into place this coming week.

The past week and a half have been so much fun as so many of you have shared your joy and excitement with us. THANK YOU!!! We look forward to introducing Tesfa to all of you very soon! - Anna
