Introducing.......

MR BEAR!!!!! He is no longer lonely! And I am one happy momma!!!!!



The trip went great! We got to the hotel and unloaded all EIGHTEEN bags! Then went to get the kids. We were about 2 minutes away from Pastor Wesley's house when the van we rented got a flat tire....how many Liberians and Americans does it take to change a flat tire??!!!

Lonely Bear and Mamma were both very sad that the meeting was delayed.......


But when it happened, it was great! We went into Pastor Wesley's house and they were all in a room asleep. So sleepy children came out one by one to teary eyed parents! He even reached for me!!!!


Now he is in his pj's and we are all ready for bed! A big day!!!! Thank you for all your prayers, so far, this has been a perfect trip…flat tire and all!

Holly Ann,

Yeah, we're so glad you all made it! Toben is adorable! Jeff and I were laughing b/c all of your pictures reminded us sooo much of our trip 9 months ago! We hope you post some pics of the others (if they will allow you) as you have time! Can't wait to hear how it goes. We are praying for you.

Praise the Lord! This page couldn't load fast enough for me! I'm thrilled for you that he reached for you and looks so happy. Picking them up sleepy is probably a great idea! Did he snuggle in last night?

Excited for you and can't wait to hear more!

AHHHHHH...so, so cute! Praising our faithful heavenly Father that your son is now with his family! So thankful one more precious life has been taken away from his orphaned life and raised with a wonderful family who will show him our Heavenly Father and help guide his future as God plans! Continuing to pray for you and the remainder of your activities!

Big Hugs!
