We made it!

Just a quick post to advise we made it. We are about to leave for the transition home to get Eyob!

Prayer update:
1. Praise - all the luggage was allowed with no penalty.
2. Praise - the flight was not too bad and we got some sleep.
3. Prayer Request - every bag made it but Abby's. We took the Semlow's advice and had moved clothes around to other bags so she has clothes to wear for a few days. The biggest issue is that this is the bag with the gifts for the nannies and a special gift for Tesfanish, his primary nanny. Please pray that it is found quickly so we can get those gifts to everyone.

YEAH! As soon as I even turned over this morning, I was wide awake thinking of you all! SO glad you made it and are safely there. Can't wait to hear more about where you are and what you see!

Now calm down about Abby's clothes, Melissa. Just take her to a closeby kids sale and pick her up a few things to get thru the trip. Simple as that, right???

My stomache is doing flip flops for you! Praise the Lord that today is the day that Eyob will be rescued and given hope for a future. We are praying that suitcase shows up. We are praying for a sweet day of fun and bonding. Can't wait to hear more updates and see PICTURES! :) Love you all - The Semlows

Millers,

Praise be to God! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. I can't help but be excited because I know that we'll be there right behind you. I know that my baby is there in the same city you are. Whisper that her mommy is coming for her soon, too. God speed for a safe trip home!

Love, Jennifer and the Domingos'

Millers - I CANT stop thinking about you all!! We got the text update at JF this morning and of course prayed for you. I have checked a gazillion times today for an update, but we know first hand what you are experiencing with power and internet. I am praying however that somehow you can still receive comments. We are praying you through EVERY detail. Yesterday I re-read through some of our posts from ET, which reminded me of the many specifics we can be praying for you guys. We love you and are hoping you are able to post soon! - The Semlows

Millers,

You know we are praying and praising God for the donations getting through without penalty. SO EXCITED to see pictures of you all with Gabriel. Love to you all!!
