Almost There!

16 hours to go and I still can't believe it! 

Tonight, Southern Heights Baptist Church held a special service for us that are taking off on this adventure tomorrow.  They showed the Mattaw Promo video and then introduced us specifically.  We were allowed to share about our hopes for this trip and how much we appreciate the community's willingness to support us financially and spiritually.  After Brother Scott shared a devotion, people were encouraged to come to the front where the 6 of us sat and they layed hands on us and prayed specifically for each of us.  It was very encouraging and special for us.  It was awesome to experience the support physically from all the people who care about us.  Thank you all, again!

We still ask for your prayers as we head out at about 8 tomorrow morning.  Our flight departs from Fayetteville to Atlanta, GA, Atlanta to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Nairobi and then from the Nairobi airport to an airport about an hour from the orphanage.  Lots of changes and foreign languages . . . please pray!  :)
