The Lord will guide you always;
He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.  
You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.
Isaiah 58:11

I've heard from Elle a couple of times by phone and email.  We've only been able to talk for a minute or two and then we get cut off.  Sue got a cell phone for Julie and Elle in Ethiopia so I can always reach her if I need to.  She talks ninety miles a minute and gets in some sweet stories of bugs in the bathtub and eating packs of oatmeal for lunch....of malnourished babies with scabies....and of precious children meeting their families for the first time.....

She will get to meet Nate and James soon and thinks she'll be able to meet Mercy and Isaiah, too!!!  Please pray this happens!  I'm dying over here!!!

Tracy,
What wonderful news! I was hoping Elle would get to visit her brothers and sister while in ET! I will continue to pray she gets to see all of them! What a blessing to them/her/you!!! You asked about our children...we do not know where they are from. They came to AW through Kids Care but have been in the TH since their grandmother relinquished them in March. Their American names & ages are Nate (7 yrs. boy), Isaiah (4 yr. boy) and McKinley (6 mos. girl). We are praying boldly to pass court the FIRST time on June 12! We would covet your prayers also as God prompts!

Can't wait to meet you someday...if we ever get to attend a fellowship group mtg. in Nashville!!

Peace,
Beth H.

Oh, my goodness! Oh my goodness!!
This is all just so incredible!!--Just drinking it in--Pools after the desert treking--WoW. Thank you, Sweet Jesus. That photo of Elle and all the luggage is such a keeper--God has already "filled her carts" with SO much for HIs world--sweet little thing with SO much Life flowing from Him. Just adore this little sister and we will be constantly holding her up in prayer these 40 days. How we love her!!Praying for ALL the Mihnovich's--the Lord's blessing and keeping. Love, Gillian
