Diary of an Adoption p.5 (by Amanda)

July 30 (part three)

This is one of the most bizarre experiences of my life. I am sitting in my car sharing food and drink with Malians while I wait for Thom to get here with the mechanic. I have about 5 men outside talking in Bambara and watching me write. It is not stressful at all and normally I would be in tears. God in His mercy has provided me with companions for the time. I think God is helping to prepare me for the unexpected and to go with the flow.
