We leave for the airport in about 7 hours! It still hasn't completely hit me yet! Rachel is with my sister for Thanksgiving, so I had to say goodbye to her on Wednesday. It was really weird, I just kept thinking how this was the last time it would just be the three of us...it's just weird that the next time we'll see Rachel we'll have her little brother with us! Very exciting!
Here's a schedule to give you a little bit of an idea of what we'll be doing while we are in Ethiopia.
Saturday: we'll arrive Saturday morning, and get to go to Hannah's Hope and meet Abnet!
Sunday: we'll go to church in the morning, and then have some free time in the afternoon.
Monday: Today we'll do all of our paperwork & go to the embassy to apply for Abnet's visa.
Tuesday: We'll have a chance to go the a government run orphanage, and also to a hospital.
Wednesday: Our visa should be ready today.
Thursday: Leave this evening.
Friday: arrive back in D.C. @7:30am
I'm not sure if we will be able to blog while we are in Ethiopia. I've heard rumors that blogger doesn't work while you are there, so we'll have to see.
Thanks for all your prayers! We are so excited and a little nervous, but we just can't wait till we are there!
