We're off!!

We leave today! We'll take a long layover in Paris for some rest and re-connecting, and then we'll be in Addis Ababa Monday night. Our plane arrives after the House of Hope closes, so we won't get our hands on Selah until Tuesday morning. Please pray for us - I love my girls so much that it's hard to be missing one in Ethiopia and missing 2 at home.

We fly back into Chicago on Tuesday, February 3rd at 1:10pm

I haven't been able to email to my blogger account in order to update it that way, so following me on twitter/facebook might be the easiest way to keep up with us. See you on the other side of this great adventure - - HE has done GREAT things!!

I'm nervous for you. The same feelings...panic?...anxiety maybe? swept over me often while we were in China. Why did I decide to do this? I can't handle this!!!! Just think of all the people who have been there and lived through it!! Soon you will be home and back in your comfort zone. Things WILL be OK. We are doing fairly well after only 3 months, and you guys will also!!
We are praying for peace for all 5 of you!!
