Bryan's parents arrived on Friday Dec 30 and so we will be taking some time to enjoy the sights of Lesotho and South Africa with them over the next 2 months. Bryan is going to work this week as we have 5 adoptions that should be happening this week (children are already bonding with their parents). Oma, Papa, and I are taking the kids to the river this morning so they can jump and play in the sand. We will be taking this week off from school so we can enjoy "Grandparents Week" and then we will do school off and on depending on when we travel with their grandparents.
It is such a blessing to have them here. I have heard many times that returning home will be way more of an adjustment than when we arrived here in Africa. So, the more friends and family we have who come and visit us, the more people we will have who will understand us when we return home. They are happy to see the people, buildings, and sights that they have heard us talking about for over a year. And now that they will be here for 2 months, they will have a real opportunity to experience the culture as well as our dialy ups and downs. I praise God for this opportunity for our family to grow even closer during this time and there are really no words to describe the happiness I see in my 3 children as they play with, cuddle with, and show their grandparents around campus.
Thanking God for His timing and gift of family,
Anita
Wow! 2 months! I didn't realize that they could come for such a long time! Actually you guys will probably get to know them way better than just day visits back home. Have a blast! Jana Z.
