Well, we are all packed and ready to head to Phila tomorrow to stay with Jon and Brieanna who will take us to the airport at 3am Fri. Then, we are off to Ethiopia.
We have 3 Rubbermaid Tubs and 1 large suitcase of things for the orphans and widows. We did pack one suitcase for us.
We are thrilled to say that funds are still coming in for Doc's Well of Hope and we are anxious to get there and make the necessary connections for where this money will be spent. We have learned of one organization that is able to dig a well for around $1500, so if that works for us, we can do about 6-7 wells.
YEAH!! Water for 6-7 villages. That would be fantastic.
Please pray for us as we go that God will use us mightily and that we will be very cognizant of HIs plan for us while we are there, and then after we return.
Just let me say that the possibility of adoption has arisen and we are prayerfully considering this.
Pray for our safety and health, and that we may be able to do MUCH for the orphans and widows of Ethiopia.
We will be working at Korah (community near the dump where thousands of orphans live) for most of the first week and then we will be part of a team doing eye glass clinics up in Menz from Mon-Fri, Nov 14-17.
Hopefully, Doc will be able to connect with Dr. Johnson (veterinarian in Addis Ababa) and make plans for our next trip.
I will try to send updates to our daughter-in-law, Kristin, who I went to Ethiopia with last year to get our precious Markos and she will update my blog. We will see how this whole internet thing works.
Thank you in advance for your prayers. Stay tuned for an update.
