Well, the time has finally come. After two long weeks of waiting, the day is finally here! All our bags are packed, (mostly) and we are more or less ready to go. Our flight leaves PDX at 8:30 PM. Rats, I hate waiting all day to fly out. But I guess it will happen soon enough! We are super stoked to be bringing a huge suitcase full of books, balls, marbles and matchbox toys for the kids. A whole other suitcase is just shoes (Thanks Udells!). Thanks to everyone who dropped off a few marbles, or toys!
Because I am sure that you are sooo interested, here is our flight pattern! Whoot!
PDX- SEATTLE-LONDON-JOHANNESBURG-DURBAN. Whewh!
We will stay in Durban for a few days and then take a bus inland to Winterton. Durban is on the coast and just happens to have AMAZING surf! Of course the orphanage is our main focus, but I have a feeling we will get to experience God's wonderful creation of peeling waves.
Just a few more hours and we are outta here!
If you haven't done so already, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check out The Agathos Foundation to see the work that they are doing in SA!
PRAY that God will use us in mighty ways.
