Travel information seminar

Today was the travel Webinar. Talk about getting excited about going to Africa. Here are the highlights:
* Donations of formula, antibiotic creams, gloves are needed
* There will be men with machine guns at the airport and around the airport. DO not be alarmed!
* The power outages have subsided as the rainy season is in full force. YEH!
* Do not eat anything that cannot be boiled, or peeled- Do not drink the water.
* Do not help the beggars - safety risk
* Bring med's just in case
* The food in Addis is wonderful! The info lady says to try as many things as we can. Their spices are great and different.
* We will arrive in Addis Abbaba, Ethiopia on a Sunday, take custody of our children on Monday, go to an Embassy appt on Tuesday, hang out on Wed, and leave Thursday evening late for the USA. YEH!

That was about it in a nutshell. The kids will be going thru their final medicals this week and next. Pray for them to pass TB and be ok on everything else. Prayers also needed for their birth cert's to come in. They still have us slotted to be in Ethiopia the first week of Sept. AHHH! WE need to know very soon.
All in the Lord's time!
