Our family was treated to our first traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony by our host LemLem Dailey. LemLem is one of the adopted girls, our friends Dan and Melissa Dailey recently adopted. Here she is washing the green coffee beans they brought from Ethiopia. 
Here she is roasting them, and then she grinds them and then makes coffee with them.
Then we were served and enjoyed the traditional three cups of coffee...of course LeeElla got four cups, I guess she is extra special. It was a precious honor, she is a gift and we are blessed to get the privilege of being part of her and Sara's new life here in Spokane and the Dailey's home. I think Micah got the best treatment...as we were leaving, he got the traditional three kisses on the cheeks from LemLem...of course, he was all smiles.

Okay, I read this and rejoiced over it last night, and twice today, and was waiting for someone else to comment first because I feel like I've been overwhelming your blog with comments lately. But, that said, since noone else has posted a comment yet...
Woo Hoo! This is TOTALLY cool! I bet your heart was in your throat the entire evening. Here's to answered prayers and dreams realized. God bless you and your family, and the Dailey's and their beautiful family! :)
Thanks Mel, its been cool to see God at work in our friends lives and the journey of these two young African women.
Im not sure what's up with the lack of comments, I guess, I got to write something that ticks someone off to get things going again. ;)
The Coffee was delicious and sweet, just like Lem Lem's smile.
