Well, we have just finished repacking 9 suitcases/bins, weighing them over and over again, and finally loading them in the Suburban for our trip to Philadelphia. Brieanna and Brittany came home the weekend of Feb 8th to help us pack all of the wonderful supplies that have been given. Well, there was a TON (almost literally) of fabulous gallon bags of goodies for children, 150+ bags.
We packed and repacked and then decided to start weighing. WOW!! It is so hard to pack that amount of material and keep the weight at 50#. I think we did it. Each of our containers weighs right at 50# and we are praying that they meet the requirement at the airport and that the person who waits on us is merciful.
We want to take this opportunity to once again thank Cindy Fitzgerald for ALL the wonderful work she has done to gather all these goodie bags. As well, we shout a big THANK YOU to Sarah Vickery and Wellsboro Home Page for the interview done on Jan 22 http://www.wellsborohomepage.com/ whereby we could share our vision with our home area.
We are traveling to Philadelphia on Thurs, Feb 20 so we can relax one day at Brieanna's and then be there to pick up our niece, Brittany who is traveling in from Pittsburgh to go to Ethiopia with us. We leave Philadelphia International Airport Sat, Feb 22 at 6am to Washington Dulles and then leave there at 10am for arrival in Ethiopia Sun Feb 23 at 7:45am. We are flying on Ethiopian Airlines.
We will try to update our blog as time and internet connection allows. We covet your prayers for health and safety and great work done for the Lord. More to follow!!
