Tariku

Well we lose power every night, so its hard to update.
We had a good night with Tariku- he is such a good boy. He slept til 3:30 am and then went right to sleep and slept til 7am.
We forgot all the noises they make- we did not sleep well, but it was worth it.
Gave Tariku a bath this morning and he did great- the bath is not the best tub, but thats ok.
Today we had our embassy appt. today and its offical! We got there early 12:30pm our appt was at 2:30pm to beat all the others and it worked great. We were with 5 other families and it took to 3:00pm til we were all done.
It went great- thank you for your prayers.
We went to a store and bought diapers for one of the orphanages and the bank to exchange money into birr. (Ethiopian money)
Today we found out that we get to go to Durame- South Ethiopia and go to see the orphanage that Tariku came from and meet his mom. We are so grateful!
Please pray for us as we travel. It is about 300KM and a drive out into the country.
We may not be able to update again, b/c we may have to sleepover in Durame. So many questions and we know no answers.
Will update more later.
