Tomorrow is (hopefully) our final day in Ethiopia. Everything we have done
in Rwanda and the last few days in Ethiopia have led up to this point. Here
is what needs to happen:
+ TB Tests are read for the kids over 2 years old, this includes Maya
(11:00AM)
+ TB test results and all medical info goes to Clinic for final processing
+ Clinic sends the medical info directly to the US Embassy (1:00PM)
+ We have our interview with the US Consulate officer (after 1:00PM)
+ We receive IR-4 Visas for each of the kids in their Rwandan Passports
(sometime before 5:00PM when the embassy closes)
+ We get on an Ethiopian Airlines flight and come home! (9:00PM)
That's what needs to happen tomorrow. The biggest catch is this: the
embassy says they don't do interviews in the afternoon, only the morning!
*We need you to pray for us. Pray for all the medical information to come
together and be fine. Pray for the US Consulate to break their normal
operating procedure and do something they say they won't do. Pray for favor
with the people involved and that we get everything done to bring our little
girls home!
God has blown us away countless times so far on this journey by making the
impossible possible and breaking down countless walls. I know He can do it
and I also know your prayers make a difference. Thank you for praying on
our behalf! *
If you don't see another post from me that means everything went well and
we're on our way home! We should arrive Friday at 1:49PM in Indianapolis.

We'll keep praying til we hear that you are on the ground, in the US, with everyone safe and sound!
