overwhelming fear



please pray for sweet esther.  she is so very scared -- throwing up afraid :(  we visited with her today at her orphanage, and she seemed better after we had been there awhile.  the main thing she is struggling with is learning english.  it overwhelms her.  greatly.  the other family we are with is adopting her good friend; they are vietnamese (lived in sacramento since teenagers) and speak fluently.  they can communicate well with each other which i think adds more anxiety for esther.  rightfully so, i suppose.  i have often said if you dropped me in any of my kids' birth countries and picked me up a year later, i would still only know "coffee with cream please" and "where's the potty?"  my heart hurts for her because i know it is going to be just fine...but esther doesn't believe that just yet.  so, we can all pray to that end.
