We woke up this morning with an email letting us know that she had made it safely to the school/orphanage.
We wanted to thank you loyal readers who have been praying for her safe travels. You blessed us and our daughter.
First thing this morning we got to talk with her on skype.
Seeing Giovanni helped calm a bit of her nervousness.
My dad and I left to go to his weekly Tuesday morning prayer meeting with the "Memphis Guys" (and the group has grown since I posted about them almost 4 years ago) and when we came back people were still talking to Ansley.
As her nervousness grew again her 7 year old brother took matters into his own hands. He pulled up a chair and began reading page after page from his "Diary of a wimpy Kid" book as she started to unload her suitcases.
When she got nervous about her new surroundings, new people, new food, etc., we would hear Anderson speaking calming words to her and encouraging her to allow him to read some more. She allowed and he read some more.
When I got home my girlfriend said he had been reading to Ansley for about 30 minutes.
I love our kids and how they take care of each other.
P.S. Please keep praying for Ansley. That God's peace would just overwhelm her and that she would love her new apartment, new friends, the kids, Ecuador......just everything. Thanks.
