Translated and Authenticated...

We got this email on October 12 from the Bethany team in Ethiopia...

Dear Ellis family,
We heard from our team in Ethiopia today that your dossier has been authenticated, translated, and registered with MOWA. The next update we will likely have on your case is when you are presented with a referral.

I think my favorite part of that email is that the next time we hear from them will be with our referral. I realize that could be a really long time from now, but it's still cool to read. I will say it is very strange to have nothing else as far as paper work etc. goes in the mean time. Some days the waiting is tolerable and other days it's just plan awful and hard. Trusting the Lord and His perfect timing!
