Oh, what a wonderful afternoon we had watching the Bonners fly in with their new 3 yr. old son, Gemechu!!! Oh, he is SOOOOOO cute and precious!!! But, first we waited a bit and LL and George ran the airport WILD!!! They were entertainment for everyone around...........

  6. God is so good, how amazing that these children were in the same orphanage and now live minutes away from each other, truly God's mighty hand at work!!
    You are so lucky to live in such an amazing community, if only I could live there...sigh.
