Ok, we’re getting into serious prep mode – I ordered sleeping bags for Isabell and I and should be able to pick them up today (the kids shredded my old one last year). I’m also starting to think of the list I need to make of what we need to bring and what I need to do before we leave. I picked out the sermons that might be helpful. I’m trying to remember that we need to start taking our anti-malaria pills on Friday. We got our passports back with the Ethiopian visas & Dr Ken (who will be overseeing our medical clinic) is going to ride to the airport with us.
I told Isabell yesterday that we’ll be spending the night in Washington, DC. She was elated – “that’s where the president lives!” She’s so excited to go on this trip!!! I’m also excited to get to minister w some friends (Louise, Ken, Zach – pick one, Shelley, Whit, Nick, Eimee, Betsy, . . . .).
I have some checks in my heart about things I need to be careful about. In all of the activity and busy-ness, I don’t want to not listen to the small voice in my heart.
