I just read about your adventures in court and on the bus back to Accra. I was just in tears and so thankful for how God confirmed every step in court through Zoe's actions. He is amazing. It gave me such hope. However, the bus ride was another story - I get sick in car rides so I'm a bit anxious about that situation. Anyway, thanks for sharing. I have been and will continue to pray for you.

If you would have made that up for a movie, it would have been cheesy, but it was REAL! Too funny! Glad you are back in Accra. Enjoy the week and we will be praying about Wed.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636090312363043206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7399535526329246498.post-73235253536522560542010-04-15T10:41:50.594-07:002010-04-15T10:41:50.594-07:00Sister Anne

I am glad that she is bonding so well with you, Amy. My heart has been carrying some love and heaviness for she and her mother too, so you do not have to carry it alone, Dear One.

What a journey for you all. You are so right about it just taking time with Zoe and Mark. The day will come when she sees the gift she has in him. I am loving that you and Zoe are bonding. What a blessing, it is a miracle when you think about it. I can't wait to hear the sermon's that Mark gets from this experience. I love you guys and I am praying for you!! - Niki- Nicholehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12172820897312041167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7399535526329246498.post-80844482969811003202010-04-14T23:54:24.506-07:002010-04-14T23:54:24.506-07:00I look forward to every word.

I am blinking back the tears from reading that Zoe is calling you Mommy, running into your arms and telling you she loves you. PRECIOUS. Thank you so much for sharing this journey with us!!

I'm pretty sure that we went to the same place y'all did when I was in Ghana to take pictures while sitting on the aligators. So much fun, and yet so very scary!

I couldn't comment on your last post-something was wrong with my computer-but I am thankful that God's grace and comfort has been sustaining you. I can't imagine that bus trip with a smile on my face!<br />Can't wait to meet Zoe! And I'm just guessing but it's possible that Zoe is skeptical of Mark because he asked her what the latest book she had read was, what her life verse is all while glaring at her from underneath a baseball hat. I'm just saying, he's pulled that trick before. <br />LOVE and prayers from the Slatens!Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12769692374449466398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7399535526329246498.post-44965481295796912932010-04-14T09:22:45.322-07:002010-04-14T09:22:45.322-07:00Hey!

When you have to leave, will you be able to leave her with pictures of you 3 together and some "stuff" you have bonded with together? That will be such a long six weeks :-( but this first meeting will make your transition next time SO much easier on her. I totally know the feeling of having native folks STARE! Praying for you and so excited! Can we PLEASE see some pictures? :-) Please? And I am so glad you didn't let your baby sit on a gator.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18022727982924846704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7399535526329246498.post-2733554863214197982010-04-14T07:07:11.691-07:002010-04-14T07:07:11.691-07:00Loved reading every word.

Perhaps Zoe is a bit shy about Mark because she has not had those kinds of positive interactions with father figures that you own children have had? It will come in time and she will realize what a treasure she has in Mark! I can tell you are enjoying the mother-daughter relationship already. It's priceless, isn't it? Can't wait to see photos! Oh - and stay away from crocodiles!Writeawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13044914204955390791noreply@blogger.com
