I found this old picture the other day. It was from a mission trip to the Fiji Islands, one of my last excursions out of the country. I think we had a little too much cava that night. It is not often that you end up in a congo line with a bunch of guys. The funniest part of the picture is that my good friend, Gold Daniel, is leading the way. When I look at this picture it makes me think of the saying, "what happens here, stays here." That mindset is definitely not true for our trip to pick up William. We hope to be able to share all of it with you. Our story is just one page of a much larger story being written in Ethiopia. A story that many families before us began writing and that many families after us will continue writing. It is a story that does not need to stay in Ethiopia. It is a joy to share our one page of it with you.

What Happens In Ethiopia, Stays In Ethiopia

What was that you said about a picture being worth a thousand words . . .
I am surprised that there aren't any comments on this picture yet, Barrett. Perhaps everyone else is speechless, but I can't resist telling you what a good dancer you are!
Prayers and blessings!

... the Prices look forward to hearing about your busy days in preparation for little William's trip home.
May God's blessing be on your entire family.
We are thinking of and praying for you.
Bob, Kay and Taylor
P.S. Ethiopia dance photos coming? :)
I remember that congo line! Speaking of what happens in Fiji, stays in Fiji, here is a message from Jake Colwell to jog your memory:
Dear Barrett,
Meow...meeooow...scratch...scratch...meow..meeoow...scratch...scratch...meow...
Jake
I hope you make some great memories that will last longer then this lifetime.
God bless!
