Hi Beth,
ReplyDeleteI'm Bill's wife and Jenny's mom (they were with you in Ethiopia). I saw on the Easties blog about the girls and saw your comment. Jenny has been praying for the girls---they touched her so much! She has been trying to find a family here to adopt them.
I didn't even go on the trip and have such a weight on my heart to do something for Ethiopia and all the children without families. Yesterday I couldn't stop thinking about all the children there without mothers, and all the mothers who had hard decisions to make, ones I would never want to face. I've been trying to put together an album of all the pictures from the trip and when I look into the kids eyes, think about what their young lives have held.
Just wanted to say hi. I'm hoping to go to Ethiopia the next time. Bill and Jenny both had a wonderful, life-changing time on the trip.
Blessings to you--
Amy
