...to meet Elias.
The co-director of Amecet, Simon, found out from police that a very old woman had come into the police station the previous week, claiming to be related to the mother of Elias. The police told the woman to go to Amecet and see him for herself, to make sure he is the same baby. Up until now, the woman has not come to Amecet (perhaps because it is quite a far distance and the woman is quite old). Unfortunately, the policeman did not collect the woman's name or the exact name of the village where she had come from.
The staff at Amecet are proceeding with posting Elias' picture in the local newspaper for 14 days, while they wait to see if the old woman will come to the home. They hope to get some information that might lead them to the old woman, so they can verify if the story is true, or if she was perhaps mistaken.
And so, we continue to wait. We did enjoy our visit with Elias, and continue to pray God's will be done in his and our lives. God knows what we all need.
