Although the Lord gives you 

the bread of adversity and the water of affliction,

your teachers will be hidden from you no more; 

with your own eyes you will see them.

Whether you turn to the right or to the left,

your ears will hear a voice behind you, 

saying ,

"This is the way; walk in it."

Isaiah 30: 20-21

News from Elle is that she will meet her brothers and sister on Saturday.  There is a missionary couple in Ethiopia who are adopting an 11 year old girl from the orphanage in Holeta, where our children are, and Elle is going there with them.   They told Elle that they have been praying for our 4 children since their father died. 

  

Be not dismayed--- the Lord has His people in place all around the world to accomplish His plan for His orphans......to set the lonely in families and lead forth the prisoners with singing.  Psalm 68:6    

I am thanking Him for their hearts inclined to hear His voice!

They get to see the fruit of their prayers being answered when they deliver pure hope to waiting children!

Elle is experiencing first hand the suffering and hardship that the people of Ethiopia face each day with courageous spirits.

Rats, lice, hunger and sickness cannot overshadow the unspeakable joy that comes from her mouth each time I've talked with her.

Please pray for Sue to accomplish all that she needs on this trip to place many children in families!....and for Julie, Kristin and Elle to be used mightily by God!

This is the only pic she's been able to send------a Sunday trip to the lion zoo with 9 of the children from the transition home.  Elle said they loved it!
