We're here

Hey everyone.  Well, we made it very late Sunday night at about midnight here time.  We are about 7 hours ahead of you all back home. Anyway, yesterday we got Will and to say that he is adorable is just not enough. He is full of personality and very shy (just like Daddy and Brooke). He cracked some smiles this morning and has laughed. He is adjusting very well and has been eating and drinking very well. The only thing is that he is potty trained but will not go for us. The ladies here at the guest house have been wonderful and have talked to him in Amharic and he went for them. The weather here is great. Very cool at night and comfortable during the day, which is good since we don't have a/c. The other thing is there are rolling black outs around town to conserve energy so last night we didn't have electricity. Other than that everything is good. The only thing all of you can pray for us is that we only got 1 of our bags, the other 3 are supposed to be coming this morning and we are downstairs waiting for a ride to the airport to go get them. The other families here have been wonderful and gave us lots of toiletries. After the airport we are on our way to get Abigail. We haven't seen her yet and it was good for us to have a day with Will by himself. Just pray for us and for her that she will adjust to us. One other family here is in the same situation as us and has to let their one daughter go, so we are able to comfort eachother. The intenet connection is DSL and very unreliable. Hopefully we'll be able to post again soon. We love you all and miss you terribly.

Rhon - tell M&D we're doing good and to give the girls a big hug and kiss from us :)

  1. Hi Miller Family,

    Great news that you arrived safely and have Will. I was shocked to hear you are also getting Abigail. That is terrific news. Good luck with the luggage situation and all of the adventure that is left to come. Love and prayers are being sent to you. Love, the Bowen's

  2. Wonderful! So glad to hear that you had a great day with Will. We pray your time there is very sweet with Abigal. How odd yet such a God thing that another couple is going through the same thing you are. You both will be a light to someone in this situation. God is in control!

  3. Does that mean that you will be able to get Abigail at the same time? I guess we will find out Saturday. :)

    I'm sorry, I had to laugh about the suitcases! It just wouldn't be fun unless they lost your luggage.

    We are so excited for you.

    love,
    Lori
