Day 2
Washington D.C.
Dulles International Airport
Departure Lounge

As we walked through the airport this morning in Washington, a lady wearing Moslem headdress whispered to us, “please pray for me”. We don’t need to know why, our God is great and knows all. Pray with us for her.

We all slept reasonably well last night at the Comfort Inn. Our connections have been great so far; we had no trouble rechecking our bags this morning. Myrtis thinks we are still high on adrenalin! She found out what a great friend Mary is, she offered to let her use her toothbrush. Keep praying for us.

We are sitting waiting to board our flight headed for Ethiopia. We are now entering a new phase of the trip where we are becoming the minority. Some of our eyes are about to be opened to how our God is a God of diversity.

We are all anxious to get our feet onto African soil—Connie would like to be “zapped over there,” so you can probably tell she’s tired of airplanes and airports. Our flight today is a long one, leave this morning, fly into the east, fuel up in Rome, and land in Addis Ababa Saturday morning.
