Look Out Africa!

Look out Africa! Here the Dorrell's come! The top picture shows ALL their bags along with all of them...you may have to look hard to count all eight of them. And, I never got a very good picture of Joy as she was being plagued at the time with mosquito bites. And, as you can see all this luggage fit in or on their vehicle! Nathan stuck his head in the door a while ago and gave us their flight itinerary and bade us good-bye. They were heading to church and then will get on the road to head to Atlanta. Their flight takes off "dark and early" in the morning (4:30am Central time (I think). What a time they have ahead of them...lots of air miles/hours! They fly first to Washington DC and then to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and then to Entebbe, Uganda. All I can say is "WOW!" We wish them God's grace in this mission effort. They will be juggling for orphans in various locations in Uganda. Elijah said that his bag was pretty heavy and immediately decided that he needed to drink lots of milk so he would be strong enough to carry it!!!! He has since realized that he will be able to pull it on its wheels and not have to gain instantaneous strength! They are all super excited and were very happy that their countdown of "sleeps" before they left on the trip had come to an end and they would be getting underway this evening. They will arrive in Entebbe, Uganda mid morning Uganda time which is eight hours ahead of U.S. Central time. I did have short sessions of school with Isaac and a Elijah this morning. But had to stop after them today as I had another appointment this morning. I got home from the appointment, ate lunch and sat for a few minutes before it was time to head to the church to work in the library. We got quite a bit done on the new order of books that had arrived. I just had to go ask Woody what he had done today as mainly our paths have just barely crossed today! He said that he mowed a little and that was about it! Ahhh retired life!
