Hi,

Here are a few last pics from our trip. Our friends, Jenn and Pete who have taken all of these left yesterday. It is a bit quiet without them, but we start our LONG journey back tomorrow. The first picture is of Chris with Abel a little boy who has also been adopted and the last 2 are Yonas with his future girl, Ephrata. Ephrata is Jenn and Pete's little girl and they live in Denver, so we hope to see a lot of them in the future. We went back to the orphanage for a traditional coffee ceremony and a goodbye to all of the kiddos there. It was very heartbreaking to see all of those kids who were staying there. The older kids definitely understand the concept of being adopted. It was a tough day! Yonas is still as great as ever. He is a real ham for an audience and even more when you bring out a camera. I can't wait for you all to meet him. See you soon:)

Love,
Mary
