That's how this trip is feeling.... like we are on a week long anniversary trip. We've been having such a good time.... the first few days we explored the compound and ask a ton of questions. Phil and Karen became fast friends and they were very patient with us as we ask tons of questions, measured windows, shelves and figured out some minor remodeling to accommodate our larger family in the house we will be living in. Preston and Apphia blessed us by taking us into the village, out to supper, and answered more questions.
We are so thankful we were able to visit Labaliene before we actually move... it def helps us to visualize our future abit more; know what we want to bring, ect.
On Sunday Prestons and Phils packed up and kindly made the 3+ hour trip up to Terre Rouge. We were thrilled to introduce them to Rhonda, and to see everyone here again!!! We spend a lovely time singing on the roof, sharing lunch and then the surprise of Dons walking over in the afternoon. Seeing karlee was so sweet... i am amazed at the grace and acceptance i felt as i saw her and held her for the first time since we closed the adoption process.
"All the way, my Saviour leads me..... Jesus doeth all things well"
She is doing well with her family, and although i found my heart tugging, i know that God never makes mistakes, and that He does give joy for mourning.
Today Rhonda and i spent hours on the roof... talking and catching up over coffee. It was wonderful!!! Jess and Less hauled stone up here along with the boys, as well as did odd jobs around the shop and house.
That's a quick catch up.. thank you for praying for us!
