JUST FOUR DAYS TO GO!

Wow...so hard to believe the end (or beginning for that matter) of the road is near! Just another 4 days and we leave for Ethiopia, in 5 days we will finally be with L & B!!!

Just when my nerves get the best of me...just when the "what-if's" really start kicking in...the doubt...the fear...I _ G E T _ T H I S:
Amy,

I have to tell you -- from the bottom of my heart, you have a VERY SPECIAL daughter in Lydia. In all the children I met over the course of the week, she was the one. She is a leader amongst leaders and has a heart the size of Alaska. Her kindness is genuine and her personality is radiant. I could not wait to see her each morning. She was wonderful with _______ -- affectionate and motherly -- just as she is towards Biniam. She is counting down the days until you arrive -- she gave me the countdown every day! I do not have the capacity to understand how a young girl can have such grace, kindness and love under the circumstances, but she does. I am so happy she is coming home. You are going to be floored! Her english is great and she is a wonderful communicator. I can't wait to hear about her homecoming! I didn't spend much time with Biniam, he was always busy! He is quite social and very well-liked!

My fear is gone...my doubt is resolved...so-what about the "what-if's"...my nerves are at peace (for today at least)!

I can't wait to love these kids!

Amy
