Packing Bags and Heading Home

I just got off the phone with Kelly and she has Tedesse’s visa in hand. She is in process of changing their flights so they can leave tomorrow night (there are no flights out today). This comes after a day and night of tracking down people in a US Senator’s office and using their connections to ensure paperwork was appropriately authorized and transferred between US government agencies in Kenya and Ethiopia. For those that wanted to meet her at the airport, Kelly thinks that would be fine. I expect that Tedesse will be very shy, very tired, and a little overwhelmed so do not expect to be able to hold him (Remember, he is a two years old). The earliest they will arrive in SLC is Friday around 5 p.m. and the latest will probably be Saturday evening. I will post an update when we know the exact time. Needless to say, Kelly seems very happy to be coming home.
