Ella's Birthplace

Kids from Ella's village.

These folks had never seen an American before.

Two leaders of the village and they gave me their address and are looking forward to future correspondence


I purchased ice cream for a large group of kids

Four year old boy who was best friends with Ella and helped to take care of her while in the orphanage. His face lit up when I showed him the photo of Ella. He is to be adopted as well in the next few months.

I do pray for the correction of Ella's adoption papers and that you can leave as planned, May 18, 9 pm. At Chorale practice tonight, Jim K said that his whole family will be at the airport in Red. to greet you. R. your trip to the Village was well worth it, even though I was concerned about you going alone & so far. Stories, more stories!! Be safe, Love, Mom
