Can’t believe we are already home. That was the fastest 16 days of my life! I could not access wordpress over there. So now I will attempt to catch you up on our trip.  I am also posting some things on my other blog.  It was great to have Danny and Noah come over half way through my trip.  We had a great time reconnecting with kids we got to know last year. It was awesome to find out two of them are being adopted this summer. The little girl is four. Last year Danny wanted to bring her home.  She was very quiet last year. This year she was smiling and laughing.  It was great to see what a year in the classroom has done for her physically and emotionally.  The little boy, also four, is a handsome rascal, full of personality.  I got to pray with him at naptime during the week. What a neat opportunity to be able to pray for his transition into his new family.  There was a third child who is being adopted this year. She was probably two with a cleft lip.  Her foster mom would bring her in each morning in an attempt to make her transition easier.

What a cool thing to see these children not only progressing, but finding homes.  I am still seeking a home for Israel, my little 10 year old buddy. He is walking now, with the help of canes.  He still can’t support his own body weight. But he has come a long way.  I noticed that he is more trusting and warmed up to us easily.  He is so smart. And smiles all the time.  I think I already blogged here about seeing him the first day. I know there is a family out there who would be blessed to have him as a son.  I am still praying God will lead them to him.  Saying goodbye to him was tough.  I had to slip off to the bathroom so I could cry.  When I walked out, he was there looking into my eyes. I must have hugged him and told him I loved him five times!  Seeing him again was the best part of my trip.
