Our Friend Lensa

Sorry for the delay in an update post.

It has been very busy. Lensa's pending arrival has generated an additional buzz in an already busy household.

We are excited; the kids are excited. There are the practical matters to tend to. Preparing her room, arranging for Ethiopian food to be brought to the house. Setting up a contact in Antigonish for her where she will be attending the Coady Institute.

Our generous friends have been bringing beautiful warm clothes for her and I have been making frequent visits to Frenchies to fill in the gap. I have been shopping for her 2 boys. Both boys close to Oskar's age they were good chums while we were in Ethiopia. Forget the language when you have a carousel top ride and a field to chase each other!

We have been telling Jubg that Lensa is coming from Ethiopia. "opia" as she calls it. We area very curious of her reaction having another Ethiopian in the house. Base on recent evidence of Jbugs comprehension, I will ask Lensa to speak Amharic with her.

Imagine Lensa's excitement. A mounting excitement that until this morning turned to anxiety. We received word from her that her travel visa through the UK and Italy were declined. A rarity. She is now floundering. We have offered to help anyway we can. We feel helpless.

Please friends, send your Karma and I will update you!
