Wed, Sept. 7

Josie here~

What an incredible time we've had here in Africa!  My eyes are filling right now as I think we are leaving tomorrow already. Our hearts have been knit to these precious people.  How we love Didier and Annie and their vision to help the orphans. We so respect and esteem them for their daily sacrifice on behalf of these precious little ones.  How they lay their lives down constantly is such a conviction and encouragement to my heart.  God is using them powerfully for His glory!

Last prayer requests:

Travel mercies (for us and our wee ones) as we travel 40 hours with the twins:
We arrive in Ethiopia 8 PM (one stop)

Ethiopia 10-:15 arrive Wash D.C 8:40 AM (17 hours)
10 hour wait
Wash DC 6:45 to Sac 9:18 PM (5 hours or so)

Didier's orphanage has taken on 4 sweet little ones that we had the privilege of bringing home yesterday.  Most of them are suffering from malnutrition and are rather lethargic and weak.  Didier says that all the children come to them in this state.  How many times can one's heart break in a day?

Gotta go.  See you back in the US!!!  Thanks for your prayers!!!
