Not actually off the ground yet but driving to DC where we will catch our nonstop 14 hour flight to Ethiopia. We cannot believe it is finally here. We are so excited to meet little Israel. We are so thankful for prayers. We have felt the Lord's peace all day. Jeff and I are setting out on this journey with a tremendous amount of joy but admit that the details are a bit overwhelming. We will miss Patterson and William greatly and already look forward to seeing them next Thursday.
We would love your prayers for smooth travels, expedited court processing and health/safety for health/safety for all!
