October 24th, 2009

Howdy!
Today was the national :Make a Difference Day" and we served with our church painting school bathrooms, and clearing property at the school, then went to the U of AZ football game and dinner. Days like today serving others and having a blast are the type of days we are thrilled to share with a little one. We constantly look at each other and talk about what this will be like next year and how different and exciting our lives will be. We are looking forward to sharing life with our Ma-Mush! The Amharic translation for baby boy is Ma-Mash, so now we constantly pray for and talk about out little Ma-Mush!
Ethiopian children are traditionally named biblical names. Therefore, we wonder what our child will be named in Ethiopia and then toss around names if we change his first name. We are leaning towards using a biblical name because it serves the purpose of continuing with typical Ethiopian heritage and can be "Westernized". Thank you to all the friends and family tossing around names with us..it is too fun to hear our dreams become real blessings! Also, thank you to our friends and family sending nursery decor, clothes and prayers. Our little man will know long before birth he is loved and provided for.
Our God is too amazing for words!
