Delayed. Ugh.

We are sitting here in lovely DC waiting!!! We are PRAYING that we make our connection to Addis in the morning. We have 55 minutes to do it -- if everything is on time! We are fairly certain our luggage will be later in arriving, maybe a day or two... RATS! Ben is feeling cruddy, probably a stomach bug that Danny had earlier this week - pray that he gets better QUICKLY! We are still feeling pretty good and very excited!

Giddy, nervous, tired, excited and frustrated are the emotions we have been through today -- the good thing is that when the 3 of are tired we think we are HYSTERICAL, the other passengers haven't been so sure! Alvin and The Chipmunks showed on our last flight... Danny and Lilly we can't wait to watch it with all you kids when we get home. Do you think Addisu, Marta, and Esrael will like it too?

We are so glad to be here and cannot believe that we will be there soon -- Do you know the song 'Here I am Lord' that is what keeps going through my head --

Pray for plenty of connection times and that all our bags get to Addis! :)

Love,
Ben and Brooke

PS... Danny, Lilly and Addy - We love you and can't wait to call you on the phone to let you talk to the kids!!! Be good for Grandma and Grandpa and have fun at the movies tomorrow!

We prayed for you guys in the Friday night Bible study group tonight. Know you are covered in prayer. "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You." Isaiah 26:3
