today we got our plane tickets in...YAY!!
and a friend of mine from church back in high school (which seems so far away now!) and her husband and family got together with small groups from their church and sent us SO much amazing stuff to donate to our agencies care centeres when we go to ethiopia! i am so excited and this is such a blessing...they said that God laid us on their hearts and they wanted to help...and boy did they help! we have so much stuff to bring to them now it's awesome!
and bumbo donated 6 bumbo seats to another girl that adopted through IAG and she sent me 3 to bring with us!
and a shout out to our family and friends who have also donated items and money for us to bring with us to help othere...you are all such a blessing, and i know that God will bless you in return!
