Urgent Prayer Request:


Shaunda called (from Ethiopia) this morning asking for the church to pray for them and especially Olivia. The baby is terrified of her new Mom and Dad. She refuses to be comforted or loved by Craig & Shaunda. The nannies are trying to get her to sleep at this time. The orphanage has suggested that the Johnsons change their tickets and leave asap with Olivia.



Update: Craig and Shaunda's flight landed 30 minutes early and the orphanage had Olivia waiting at the door for them. She has been with them since they got there, she is theirs. Through many tears and laughter God is answering prayers. Olivia fell asleep on Craig's chest which made him so happy as you can imagine. Please continue to pray for bonding as their time is short before the journey home. Olivia can say "banana" and Craig and Shaunda say that she is more beautiful than the pictures show. Grammie is so proud and excited and said that Olivia will be just fine because she is a Johnson, and Johnson's are tough.
