Good morning from the Marshall Islands!

We are here! I only have a few minutes on my internet card, but wanted to say Yokwe! from the Marshall Islands! We arrived yesterday morning. I am completely and totally in love with this country! We were met by our World Teach friend Kim at the airport and it was such a celebration. A pickup truck took our luggage to the hotel and we followed. We passed chickens and dogs in the streets and had a view of the ocean on one side and the lagoon on the other. I have never experienced anything like this. We dropped our luggage in our room and went to the hotel restaurant for lunch. We did not think we would get to see Rickson yesterday. Then as we were sitting there, Chris said "I think Rickson is in the lobby". He was. Chris recognized his birthmom from the picture. Our friend Kim went up to her and spoke in Marshallese and invited us over. I went up to Elina and kneeled by her and held her hand. She handed me Rickson and looked at him and told him "Mama" while pointing to me. I really cannot even put into words what yesterday meant. She came to our room and we spent the day with us. We have met our son and have fallen in love. Miss you all....more later....
