Hey guys!! Someone was on the computer that I always like to go on so now im stuck on this one but the good news is that it has a SHIFT button so i can UPPERCASE11 :D anyway.. so all we've done today is: this morning we woke up thinking apiyo and uchan couldnt see us until late afternoon because we thought they would be in school, but when my dad called our driver he told us that the twins have been waiting for us, today's gift for them was both got side walk chalk and apiyo got little polly pockets and some bright colored headbands, and for uchan we got some flarp, (he got such a kick out of that) and a nerf football, turns out he is dang good at all sports!!! Right after we gave them their gifts, mom dad britta apiyo and uchan sat down in uchans room, and we had our meeting with mom and brother of the twins. That was very interesting, she was veeeeeerry pleased that we got to take care of our twins, after that meeting we exchanged hugs, and said a prayer together it was a very hard moment to get through, tears ran down my face as i gave mom a hug. Anyway after that we got to watch the twins eat which looked like injera and dora wot, they loved it, and they were sooooo peaceful as they ate. When it was time for us to leave the care center :( we went to a quick resturant for a bite to eat, AMAZING food, i felt like i was back in sibley!! except the bill for this food was about 40 dollars cheaper! it's so crazy buying stuff here, it's like they say alright that's like 400 ber (for all 6 of us ) and i'm like holy cow!! That sounds like sooooooooo much money!! But really it's not that much it's only about 22 dollars!! after we ate we went shopping some more, i'm pretty sure we are done shopping. But we might have to go back on thursday. :) i love shopping!!!!!!!! But when we got back to addis view i laid down and legitly passed out, i was so tired, i slept from about 4:40 to 7:00 it felt amazing. Now here I am sitting in the lobby of the hotel talking to all who is reading!! Scott Leah Mom Dad Britta and I are all prettied up and going to a very special resturant, the resturant where there are dancers and singers like the one we went to 3 years ago! After that i think we are just coming back here to sleep, I might blog after we get done at this resturant so that you all can know how that went!! We miss you all, my driver is here!! Lots of Love!!!!

That sounds like an amazing experience to have had with their birth family. Wow!
ReplyDeleteSo I was reading for our Bible study tonight, and when I read these verses I thought I really needed to share them with you guys :). Ephesians 3:14-21 -
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus for all generations, forever and ever. Amen!
I would love it if you would share that with Mom and Dad too :).
Give everyone (including Ayipo and Uchan) a HUGE hug from us!!!!!
Lots of love :)
