Preparing to Travel

Today we are trying to get all of our packing done. Packing for 4 people who you know everything about and 2 you only know by picture and paperwork is tough. You can not imagine how much stuff(medicine, food, etc) we have to take because in Ethiopia there is no WalMart or Target or even a drugstore. There is lots of pizza places so the boys will at least get to enjoy that.

We ask for your prayers. We leave on Wednesday and arrive in Ethiopia on Friday morning(about 3am Eastern Time). We meet the girls on Monday. Over the weekend, we are going to spend time with friends who we know in Addis Ababa who are working with street children. Susan and the Boys will get to meet our sponsor child who I got to meet last year. Her picture is shown here. Her name is Edalawit and she is young girl who was rescued from the streets a few years ago. She lives with a guardian. Susan and I have been sponsoring her for a few years now. I can't wait to see her and for her to meet Susan and the Boys.
