Gotcha!

This will be quick, we don't have internet at our appt so we've borrowed wifi from the office of a friend.

We arrived to the orphanage yesterday afternoon to some very nervous orphanage workers who wanted to explain to us that C would probably not receive us well because she has spent her whole life with them and is exceptionally attached to the workers and the home.  They were afraid she was going to reject us and had many plans for the trial meet.   "Papa" to go first since she responded best to his photo (I know, we're shocked : ).  He went to her a little ways off, started talking and she eventually came over and started watching and listening.  I came out a little later and sat down, she seemed interested in the gringa and came over and eventually accepted some chips from my hand.  The kids followed later and of course she took to them the easiest,  especially big sister.  (Another huge shock to all of you : )

Thank you for prayers!




She was crazy hyper all day until we left at about 7.  We were exhausted, had altitude sickness, all of us pounding headaches and Z had almost passed out shortly before we got there.  Not the best conditions but our God is big and this is His plan for all 6 of us.  We just have to stand back and watch Him make us into a family (well, with a lot of energy expended that we weren't sure we had!)  We dropped lifeless into bed last night.



 Our little one is expecting her Papas back when we gets up from her nap, which is about now...gotta run!
Abrazos
