Tickets - booked

We have purchased airline tickets.

Four of them, yep our kids are going to Ethiopia with us.

This is very exciting for us. We ask our Dad, my husband's affectionate name for God, and He said, yes.

Through the support of our family and friends, we have the majority of our travel money for us and the kids. We have felt that this is very important for our family. Our children are 10 and six and have been such apart of the process to bring Jude Fekadu home. We want them to experience Ethiopia and we pray this will impact their lives along with ours.

Thank you, Thank you.

Our travel dates are the week of March 15th and we are thrilled to be able to stay at Bejoe! It was our first choice and one of the positives of having to wait 5 + weeks to travel. :)

MS, are you traveling soon? Email me if you want at 2gailmail@gmail.com.

so glad we're not the only people crazy enough to take two kids along for the ride! I totally agree that this will be such a big part of all of their lives & will be so meaningful for all of your kids!
