And we're off

Thanks for your prayers and support. We made it safely to Chicago this evening. We'll head to O'hare in the late morning and our flight leaves for Frankfurt, Germany at 3:40 p.m. After, we have a nearly 8 hour layover in Germany, we'll leave for Ethiopia. We're scheduled to land in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia at 9 p.m. on Tuesday (2 p.m. MI time). Please pray for...

safe and smooth travels

ease in checking in bags

someone to meet us at the airport when we arrive in Ethiopia (we've contacted them, but haven't received confirmation yet)

for the Holy Spirit to go before us and for us to be sensitive to His leading

We're not sure how much internet we'll have in Ethiopia, but we hope to post to the blog as we're able.

Kate, Abby, and Julie
