We have landed in Europe.  Emma and I and a few of the others had many tears as our plane journeyed toward Europe.  It is sooo painfully hard to leave.  I can’t even put it into words yet.   I am compelled to do more. I don’t know what that exactly looks like.   But…

Hey it’s Abi, Mom called from Africa saying she couldn’t get on the internet today and wanted me to log on and tell you guys all what’s going on since she knows you will pray. Dad went to the emergency room this afternoon in excruciating pain and some tests confirmed that three of the six…

Thank you for all your prayers.   As a team we are heading over to the orphanage where our son has been living.  We have learned that, although we have been going to see him every time we are here, we are not allowed to tell him that we are adopting him.   So I…
