Presentation Day


Yesterday we traveled from Bogota to Ibague, Colombia. It was a long drive, down and around several mountains and through the countryside. Everything here is colorful. Huge flowering plants, palm trees, and fruit trees are everywhere. The contrast of the extreme poverty in the midst of amazing, natural beauty is striking.

Our most exciting news is that today we meet Ana Isabel for the first time. We are all a bit nervous. Even upbeat Sam, exhausted from our long drive to Ibague, and sensing our anxiety, cried last night, "What if Ana Isabel doesn't like us?" So in just a few minutes we are off to meet our daughter. We sure would appreciate your prayers.

love, k

Praise God you are all safe! So sorry you were sick.....hope Chip is better. Thinking of you every minute and praying all the time that this will all go according to His plan. We love you and are so proud of all three of you. Tell Samalama not to worry....our Ana Isabel will love him...how could she not? He's going to be the most loveable little brother on the planet! We can't wait to hear how today's meeting went. Please keep us posted as much as you can. I'm mailing each day's blog to Mom & Dad as they come in so they won't have to wait. You are the most awesome and inspiring people I know. Love to you, Chip, and Samalama! With all our love, Laura, Tim, & Gabe
