got formula?

Food is becoming a lot more expensive and scarce in Ethiopia. At least one of the orphanages that works with our agency is running very low on formula. They are not far away from having to give the babies in their care milk instead of formula. Traveling parents are the best way to get formula into the country, so we have been asked to take donations of formula. If anybody out there in blog land would like to donate either money or formula for us to take, it will directly benefit orphans in Ethiopia. We are willing to take an extra bag or container if we need to. We will need by next Tuesday or so. Thank-you!

We have hit another snag with getting Benaiah's visa to come home. In early September, we were told that our approval had expired in APRIL while it is actually good until next March. We had our information resent from immigration to the embassy, and it seemed that things were straightened out. Last week, we were told that the embassy thinks that our fingerprints expired in JULY. They are in fact good until December. So, here we go again. Please, pray that this gets fixed very quickly.

We are leaving home on Saturday, October 25. We leave Ethiopia late Thursday night and arrive home on the afternoon of Friday, October 31.

I feel stuck in the mud. I need to clean. I need to pack. Nothing is started.
