Things are moving at a rather frantic pace around here. We got Zeke's picture on Tuesday and we're leaving one week later to go get him!! Yes, you heard that right. We have two more days to gather baby things, documents and rain ponchos and get out the door! So, we have some prayer requests:
Pray we don't forget anything important, especially all the documents we need to complete the adoption.
Pray we are able to complete all the steps on time to make our flights back so we don't have to delay our return.
Pray for our other 3 kids, that they'll do all right emotionally while we're gone and be prepared by the Lord to meet and welcome their new brother.
Pray for safety and wisdom for Dave and I as we travel.
Pray for health for Zeke.
Pray for our meeting with him and the days we travel, for good bonding, health, etc.
Pray God would continue to provide for the finances of this adventure.
Pray we'd trust God with the details and enjoy the ride!
We're excited, anxious, emotional, and loving Zeke already. If all goes as planned, we'll be meeting him Friday afternoon this week. We'll try to post video of the event as soon as we get settled in and catch our breath. Thanks for running this race with us!

"I MET MUGISHA!"
I received an email this morning from a friend who is in Kigali and visited the orphanage today (yesterday Kigali time). Here's what she said:
"You are going to love him! His picture doesn't reveal his very happy personality. He is so smiley. Interesting - the nuns couldn't tell who he was when I said Mugisha. I looked around the room and my friend was with me and we both felt like we found him, but they said no. Then we said, "Mugisha Vincent" and then they all knew and it was him. He seems very strong. He has a round belly that is great for his beautiful smile and laugh. I told him his mom and dad were coming to receive him soon and what your names were. The nun was great with him.
They feed them every 3 hours and they get a bottle of millet and a bottle of milk. They also wake them up in the evening every three hours while they are sleeping to feed them and they are usually up in the morning at 5 am."
As you can imagine, I was crying tears of joy and longing as I read her wonderful email. We can't wait to meet him!
Please keep praying for our travel arrangements... things are moving quickly!! :) YEEHAW! We're off on "The Amazing Race" to bring home MUGISHA!
