This picture was taken in the orphanage compound shortly after Mom and Dad arrived. When they got out of their van to meet the children they were met with a chorus of "we love you Mum an Daad." Mom and Dad soon learned this was the extent of the children's English except for Rahel the oldest who knew a few more words and phrases.

Rahel/Celeste is the oldest, (at the top.) Jeruse/Grace is the second oldest, (on the right.) Ededeya/Samuel is the youngest, ( located on the bottom left.) Mintesenot/Alexander is the third oldest,(bottom center.)

I'm just feeling all sorts of emotional looking at these pictures and thinking of what you and your parents have done in the lives of these beautiful children. You've always been a doer of the word, not a hearer only. Thank you for your never ending example of diligence and faith.
