Good news and no news

Good News: Our paperwork issue of a few posts ago is resolved! Our updates 171H is at the embassy in Addis Ababa waiting for us. Praise the Lord!

Good News: The youth group at our church collected donations for us and packed them all up last night. The first of our suitcases are zipped and ready to go and under the weight limit!  We're so thankful to the youth group and the amazing people at our church for providing lots of necessities and goodies for the orphanage. We can't wait to give them!

No News: No confirmation for travel - in fact it could be very, very last minute. We're still planning on leaving next week, hoping for the best! Apparently our exact departure date isn't "need to know" information. That's okay - we're ready for anything! 

Here are some photos of the youth group packing everything up! Thanks guys!

I'm still amazed that all that stuff fit into those two suitcases! I wish I could see the happy faces of the children and workers when it's received. Thanks for letting us (WRPC) play a "small" part.
