Sweet reunion









After being in the U.S. a couple of days, we were eager to see the Loucks family and their little African dollies and re-introduce them to their old orphanage buddies, our twins. They had been together 5-6 months in the Congo and had been fast friends we were told. So now that they were to be reunited, we were wondering how they would respond. The hour finally came. We were a bit surprised that when the Louck's got out of their car and the 4 little people stood in front of eachother, they just sort of stared at one another in silence. They may have been trying to process meeting their friends and maybe wondering, "OK, what are you doing here? I knew you in another world" : ) Their silence could also be chalked up to being surrounded by a myriad of people all staring at them. The Messer 6 were there too with the Loucks 8 and Wilmarth 8 : ). After a few minutes, they ended up playing together. They will have a long time, Lord-willing to get re-acquainted here in the U.S.~ maybe starting with AWANA, Cubbies tomorrow night : ). What a blessing that they will get to grow up together! How kind is our Father!!
