We have arrived!

Hello from Africa!
We are finally here--after a long, yet uncomplicated flight. Addis Ababa was cool and welcoming, and the airport was an absolute sight to behold. Thousands of people welcoming family members who they haven't seen in years--children, workers, volunteers--it was amazing!
Our accommodations are better than expected. Jennifer and I are actually at the volunteer house, and we each have our own room and bathroom. Tomorrow (Monday morning) we get to meet the kids and staff and get our assignments. Please pray for us! God has already revealed some things to Jennifer and I that we find truly amazing. I hope to share them soon when we have a better electricity situation--it is very fragile right now and goes out often. We miss you all--goodbye from Ethiopia!!

I am undone reading your post. I'm glad it's lunch so the children can't see me trying to hold it together! I will read some of your post before we pray for you today. Hug some for us.
May the joy of the Lord continue to be your strength. God Bless you. CIndy Richardson
