Goodbyes and Hellos

In a guest house like we are staying at, there is a constant stream of people in and out.  The guest house tends to be used a lot by Americans.  On arriving we met Deb and her family.  Deb had an adoption granted on a  gorgeous baby girl, Leah Grace, and was waiting for the VISA to come through to take Leah home.  Deb's Mom, who we all know affectionately as 'Grandma' and son, Seth were at the guest house too.  They are a delightful family.  Yesterday, after a long wait, the VISA arrived and they changed ther flights to go home early.  So last night we said our goodbyes to Deb, Grandma, Seth and Leah as they head home to the U.S.  We wish them the very best in meeting their family when they arrive back, who we hear are all going to be at the airport to meet their new arrival!  They also have an amazing family holiday to look forward too in two weeks time, where the whole family go to Florida.  So this one little girl is about to take part in the biggest and best adventure of her life.  She finally has her forever family.

With one goodbye, we've said several more hellos.  A young lady from Washington, joined us a few days ago.  She's doing some really interesting research on people and child trafficking.  Another group from a church near Seattle joined us tonight too.  They are just passing through as their final destination is Sudan.  They have been amazing company in the short time we've known them.
