About 2 months ago Derek and I shared our feelings with one another about helping orphans in Africa. We had no idea how each other felt until our way home from a "show and tell" about our friend's Uganda trip. We both felt that God had a plan for us to help the orphans in Africa in some way. After praying and getting many signs we got together with our pastor to help us decide when and where we would go.
God works in mysterious ways...we originally wanted to go to Uganda and Ethiopia on a 2 week trip. As we went to apply for that trip we found that it had gotten cancelled. We then found a trip to Ethiopia associated with One Child Campaign, which was much cheaper and a shorter time frame that works better for our vacation time. God must really want us to go on this trip because we then got our passports without any bumps in the road in 3 weeks which got us really pumped because this was our "travel pass" to other countries.
Several emails and discussions later led us both to applying for the trip through the One Child Campaign. We sent our applications and fees in on September 22, 2011....who knew what would come next!!!
