On the train..

      I am sitting on my 15 hour train ride right now on my way to the region where I will stay for most likely the next month.  Today I will meet an orphan that will soon not be an orphan but instead be a part of my very loving family.  I have traveled halfway around the world to meet him.  I have spent many uncomfortable hours in airports, planes and now a train to meet him.  I have done stacks and stacks of paperwork over the past year and a half just to get to this point.  For never meeting this child before I hope He will soon know how much he means to my family and myself already.  I already love him.  My wife and daughters back home already love him.  

He will be loved.
