Court Date!!!

gavelWe just got incredible news that our court date in Ethiopia will be JUNE 5!! That’s a week from today. Since Ethiopia is eight hours ahead of us, they will probably be hearing the case while we sleep, very early on Friday morning.

Would you please be praying for us, our little boy, those who will represent us in court, and the judge who will be hearing our case? If we pass next Friday we could be traveling to Ethiopia in the next several weeks! There’s a chance that we won’t pass the first time, and our court date will have to be rescheduled, which could delay the process for several weeks. There are many reasons that we could not pass: a sick judge, the paperwork isn’t in the right order, the electricity goes out, etc. Please be praying that we will find favor with those who are handling our case and that we will pass.

Thank you so much for your prayers for our family and for little Josiah!
