Things are moving along over in Ethiopia. I get to Facetime Matt and Endale usually once a day. It is so fun to see them. I have to brag on my hubby a bit. He is doing great being a Daddy to this precious kiddo we just met! Endale has flourished in the 8 days of being with us. He went from being lethargic and apathetic to lighting up every time he sees us and responding to everything! It is such a blessing to see.
-Medical appointment for Endale at Embassy
-Submit our case to Embassy
-Get Embassy appointment
-Clear embassy
Get Endale's visa
-COME HOME!!!!
I woke up to an email from Matt this morning saying we had received the immigration paperwork so we could proceed with getting his passport and he planned to do that tomorrow. Then, a bit later, he emailed saying...I went down to immigration and already applied for the passport today! Woo-hoo. Check! We expect the passport should be ready for pick up by Monday. Tuesday is Endale's Embassy medical appointment. Then, we'll have everything we need to submit to Embassy. In the past, agencies have had certain days they can submit to Embassy. Our agency's day is Thursday. So, by next Thursday, we will submit to Embassy. From there, they would give Matt an exit interview and we'd wait for the visa for him to come home. Right now, we have plane tickets (booked in faith) for Matt to leave Ethiopia 4/9. I will meet him in DC the next morning and fly the rest of the way home with him.
How you can pray:
We have seen God move mountains over and over again throughout this process. We're praying that somehow, the Embassy might allow us to go ahead and submit on Tuesday with a possible visa in hand on Friday, so Matt could come home earlier! We're praying for BIG things from our BIG God!
He has been so very faithful to us every step of the way to Endale. Please join us in giving Him the glory for all the things He has done.
