Waiting

We have 2 weeks and 5 days until we leave for Ethiopia...It's unbelievable that we are really going.  We are pretty much set to go except for packing and getting together some odds and ends for the trip.  Now, we pray and wait.  A couple of ladies at Hill Song Church in Chapel Hill, NC made us a prayer calendar for the month of April to prepare for our trip.  We would be grateful that you all pray as well.  We couldn't have gotten to this point without prayer.
