"Embote! Nalingi yo!" I yelled into the phone.
From the other end I heard a stream of lingala, the voices of my parents speaking English, and a little, "Kadi say..." and then a little voice with an accent said,
"Hello? I love you!"
Those were the first words I heard from my newest little brother.
Yes!
They're coming home!
*TONIGHT*!
I can finally spill the beans! I have had to wait for what feels like forever to tell you, but now I can!
They're coming home!
Before I go further, I want to show you my sister...
Isn't she precious!
My parents have been in Congo for the past two weeks,
and they finally landed in America!
I wasn't allowed to put anything on the blog for safety reasons, and that was hard! But now I can finally tell you all.
These two *Gilbartes* will be forever home in about 6 hours!
They have been in Congo together for the past 10 days.
They have been traveling home for the past 30 hours
They will be home in 6 hours.
Forever.
We have been able to Skye a little, and talk on the telephone some.
I have talked to my brother.
I have seen more pictures.
I have had at least half a dozen dreams about them coming home.
they'll be here so soon!
I'll post again with homecoming pictures tomorrowish.
Please, keep us in your prayers!
