Ryan was able to accomplish getting the necessary paperwork in Julia’s hometown today. However, it took all day and it was dark by the time they were finished. The road is not safe at night so they are leaving very early in morning to head back to Addis Ababa. There is a slim possibility that they could get everything done and we could make our flight tomorrow night. Good Friday is a national holiday in Ethiopia and many government offices are closing early tomorrow and won’t re-open until Tuesday. So if there is a hang up tomorrow we will be here for several more days. So if we get her visa tomorrow, it would truly be a miracle. Our God does miracles.

We will continue to pray that everything will go smoothly in the morning so you can catch your flight tommorow night!
Tonight during family prayer Matthan specifically prayed and said “I don’t want to pray for the Hales, I mean, I want to pray for the Hales but I want to SEE the Hales.” Amen to that! Father, do the miraculous and bring the Hales home quickly and safely.
