Our wake-up call rang at 3:00a.m. We showered, grabbed our bags and jumped on the airport shuttle to the Indy airport.
6:00a.m. Flight left for D.C. We met the nicest guy in the row behind us on the plane.
Joel, a young man who had been homeschooled and lives south of Ft. Wayne. He farms and is on the way to Uganda to help at an orphanage with their farming. He will be there until April. Lord, keep Joel safe and may you impact him greatly and shape him according to your will during this trip.
Once in D.C. we met the SWEETEST two Ethiopian girls who were also heading to ET.
E and M are in high school and were themselves adopted about 6 years ago. What a delight to meet them and hear some of their story. They are returning to their homeland for the first time since their adoption for the wedding of their older brother. We exchanged numbers and I look forward to hearing from them once they return. They were so encouraging..really just amazing young women!!
11:00a.m. Boarded Ethiopian Air Bus non-stop to Ethiopia!!
The plane is nice and clean. Food ok. I avoided the fish and chose chicken. After a few bites of the spinach lettuce salad I decided to be safe and didn't eat anymore in case it was washed in ET. Praying we don't get sick on this trip.
Loving this gift the Stroud family gave us:
It is SO handy!!! Thanks friends!!!
