Hair and Prayer

Tonight Maddie was able to get her hair straightened for the first time in a long while.  She is very excited to be able to comb through it without pain.  Maddie and Bethlehem have very thick hair and it is impossible to comb unless it is wet.  Eska and Haddie's hair is thinner and easier to style.  A typical Saturday night can take up to 5 hours to complete everyone's hair before Sunday (5 girls).  We have learned how to work around this by getting the little girls hair braided and Maddie's straightened when there is extra money!  December as been an easy hair month and I am very thankful.  Sometimes Elaina asks when her yellow hair can have braids like her sisters.  Her sisters ask when they can have yellow hair and no braids!  

Tonight's prayer highlight:

Elaina -  That Cleo and Buford would get married and have baby chicks. (one of our hens and our rooster) We would have 91 horses.  She also prayed for people to know the gospel and for our Christmas Cards and Mr. Dales back.

Tamu - Thank you for food and Spiderman.  We don't know where the Spiderman thing came from?  When we picked up the kids in Ethiopia they were obsessed with Spiderman.  What does an Ethiopian Spiderman look like anyway...lol.
