13.5 Hours To Go!

Hi all!
This is Melissa writing from Spokane for the team.  I just received word that their first two legs of the journey were good and they are currently preparing to board in Washington D.C. on Ethiopia Air.  They should be in Addis Ababa in approximately 13.5 hours!  The team is pretty tired, so hopefully they will be able to get some good sleep on this flight. 

When they land in Addis it will be Friday morning.  (Addis is 10 hours ahead of us)  The team will have time to put their bags in their guest house and then they hit the ground running with some lessons on Ethiopian culture, a tour of Bingham Acadamey and a tour of Korah. 

They will be helping the Misgana Church in Korah with some building repairs as well as holding a VBS for approximately 150 children who live in Korah.  Korah is a community centered around the dump outside of Addis.  Feel free to look it up to see what the team will be encountering on their first two days in Ethiopia.

Thanks for following their story.  The next post should be coming from Ethiopia!
