Airport Blessing

When we traveled to Ethiopia last June to bring Meron home we were blessed with the opportunity to meet a young man with an amazing story and an awesome smile! He was at the same orphanage Meron was at and we were delivering some gifts to him from his family here in Atlanta.

We never could shake his bright face from our minds and we knew we were better people for having met him. He made it on to our nightly prayer list as we prayed for all the orphans in the world and by name for the ones we knew to be coming home soon.

Tonight - almost 9 months later - we were able to be at the airport to greet him and his sister and mom and dad as they came home as a family. Talk about an amazing moment. Several families with children from the same orphanage showed up. It was so cool to see those kids running around with each other, hugging each other and just being kids with each other.

Welcome home Addisu and Samarah! Thank you for allowing us to be part of this incredible journey of yours! Meron (and mom and dad too!) can't wait to hang out with you guys!
