Ethiopia: Day 1 (12/28/10)

We arrived at the Denver airport at 9am. It was hard to say goodbye. The hugs and kisses felt a little more special from Betsy and the girls. Everyone was already at the airport when I arrived and we proceeded to check in the luggage.


One of my bags of donations was 15 lbs overweight. Luckily others had room and we rearranged to get under 50 lbs. I received my boarding pass, we prayed as a group and headed on the greatest adventure I have ever been on.


Upon reaching our gate; we are delayed 1 hour due to high winds in New Jersey. We only have 2 1/2 lay over in Newark. We also met the Hank's family from South Dakota. We are now a group of 15 heading to meet up with others in Newark.


We are now on the plane sitting in Denver for 2 hours and the pilot came on and said we will take off in 40 minutes. Gos has a plan and we need to be patient for His timing and let His plan unfold. If He brings us to it, He will see us through it!


We made it to Newark and made our connection to Frankfurt right as they were in the middle of boarding. They also had a dely due to high winds for take off- thank you God!
