Update 1 from Ethiopia

Hello friends! I'm updating for the Tuckers this week while they're gone and wanted to pass along the latest. They had a great trip into Dubai and then arrived yesterday in Ethiopia. The following is the email we received from Sarah this morning. Continue praying for our friends and for little Samuel.

Wanted to share first day is going really well! Sweet Samuel did not want to leave yesterday so we played and sat with him for over two hours then he was ready. He slept through the night! It's very hard trying to know what he wants so I just point alot and have learned some Amharic. Please continue to pray for us as a family. I know it is a tremendous confusion for him. I am extremely exhausted and battling fears and anxiety. The Lord has shown me alot over the past two days, very humbling. His Grace is enough and HE is bigger than me..pray for us and our girls for transition. talk to you soon!!!

Praying for you and all the other families this week while you get to know your children. Hang in there. It will all be a little easier once you get home. Blessings!

Prayed for you guys today & will continue to do so. It's totally normal to have feelings of being overwhelmed & fearful....just continue to give them to the Lord as they attack your heart. So excited to meet sweet Samuel & rejoicing at this amazing journey the Lord has brought you guys on these past years! So exciting! The Leventhals love you guys!

I love updates from ET. He is so cute. I just saw his pictures today. Sorry things are hard right now. Sounds like you have the right attitude and we're praying that this gives you an easier transition once you arrive back in the states.
