I am happy to report that all 78 lbs. have been received in North Dakota! We will see them next in the hands of our little ones at Kechene in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia! I am so excited to see the photos of our little ones and their smiles on their faces! Oh, how I wish I could see it in person!
This is going to be a very exciting time, yet heartbreaking, personally. There is just so much that I can do...and it stops here this year. I cannot go with the team to Ethiopia to help hand out care packages, hugs, kisses and love from their sponsors. I have to allow new hearts to reach out to the little ones this year and do it for me as I was able to last year.
I guess sometimes you have to give up that "glory" feeling and pure JOY of the hands-on task and allow someone else to feel that JOY and that feeling that God gave me 11 months ago.
Thank you to the team of 21 people going this year on Nov. 12! My prayers and thoughts will be with you all week long and although I long desperately to be with you all, please pass my love on to these children through the gifts of all the sponsors and the love they send!
