Yesterday our representative Emilia picked us up at the airport and took us around San Jose. She has a sweet, bubbly personality and obviously didn't want to be anywhere but with us and helping us bring our family together.
When we received the call 10 days ago, they gave us the option to come next week because there was no guarantee we'd get to meet the kids right away. But we came by faith, asking and expecting God to make a way. He absolutely has....Tomorrow morning at 9:00 we are meeting Ruth and Emmanuel! Our agenda says, "9:00 Family Meeting." We love that. :)
It feels like we haven't stopped smiling...or asking God to stay with us & thanking him for all he has done--so above and and beyond. It is so good to be here...such a special place. We spent most of the day walking around San Jose...drinking the world's best cafe and fresh mango smoothies, eating gallo pinto (our favorite), buying bilingual books and a few games, getting poster board to make welcome signs, and enjoying every minute simply being together in every sense of the word.
