Ethiopia or Bust

     i wish i had told you earlier...because i am too tired right now to explain it well. :) in 2 days i am leaving to join a group of about 25 people flying to ethiopia, africa for a humanitarian trip. our itinerary is amazingly full. we will be visiting many orphanages, doing soccer camps and arts and craft projects. we will be spending a day at a dump, where many children are living. we will be handing out shoes, clothing, and food to street children. we will be visiting HIV care centers and orphanages....
      i am hoping to be able to update my blog daily while there. i'm thinking i may have better luck with internet than phone use...actually hoping it will be easier than i've heard to have any communication with home!
     i am excited. i am anxious. i am nervous. i will miss my family. i know that this will be an incredible experience. pray that all goes well for us on this trip SO far from home!

     *kelly, the director of our trip and of ordinary hero foundation, said she would be blogging updates daily. you can see them here.
