Africa Bound!

So, we made it from Indy to DC! We got to our gate to check in for Ethiopia & we are 3 hours delayed & have been told we will miss our connecting flight to Lilongwe...we pray this does not happen because we will have to stay there overnight & we will lose a day of work & missions! Please keep us lifted up in prayer as we wait to see how things play out & pray that we make out connecting flight to Malawi! :)

Love,
Brandy
