Praise Jesus we made it home safe and sound.

We landed in Chicago to be greeted by Jon & Nicole, it was great to see a familiar face.

We picked up our truck drove to Valpo, Nicole rode with us and sat in the back of the truck to get acquainted with her new brother. They watched "Tom & Jerry" and played games, it was awesome to see them bond so quickly. 

We ate pizza and then went to Target. Bereket was captivated by my watch on our trip and asked if we could get him a watched when we arrived in America. He asked if he could get a green watch. God is so good, we went to Target and found a green watch that fit him, now he is learning how to tell time.

He couldn't wait to see his room. He couldn't believe that everything in there was his. We have such wonderful daughters who threw us a shower. Our church family and friends blessed us with getting started with an eight year old. 

We have been so blessed, Bereket has adjusted to the time change so well, he is sleeping all night and we are in the process of figuring out what American food he will eat. 

We asked him if he wanted to go to church on Sunday and he said yes. He did very well at greeting people and feeling fairly comfortable for his first experience. 

Our church is presenting "Heaven's Gates & Hell's Flames" April 28, 29, 30 @ 7:00 p.m. so that means our sanctuary has been transformed. He wondered what was going on so we took him over for the final practice so that we could explain to him what was happening. 

Thank you so much for your prayers and support, we could not have done this without you!

You are changing generations to come by investing in one little boy.

Continue to pray for us as we transition our home and our lives.

Our prayer is that our story will inspire one family to take the same step of faith we took and adopt at least one child and change a generation for eternity.

If God would lay on your heart to pass on our link or give to cover our finalization costs we would ask that you would visit our sight: http:/bennett.give5.us/
