Day 2

Got up with our friends and had breakfast. Since we packed so suddenly we did forget a few things so we headed to the Mall of America - Where there's a will there's a way that I will find the biggest mall around. We then headed to the airport and left again. We found out that the weather got bad right after we left and THEY closed their airport as well. Sensing a theme here? God really wants us to get there! We flew to Amsterdam and had a few hour wait. As we were waiting, we see a couple that looks just like a couple that stayed with us during our first trip. It WAS! They were on our next flight! So awesome! So, we got to catch up with them and hear about how they found out last minute as well and got there. Flew out of Amsterdam to Sudan (kind of scary), fueled up and then landed in Ethiopia without a place to stay yet or knowing if anyone was going to be there. Sara and I sweet talked a friendly guy and he let us use his cell phone to call Abel. He was right around the corner and said he got us a place to stay. Praise the Lord! Our place is beautiful and has lots of room for kids! We got in late at night so we pretty much just went to bed. The smells and sounds of Ethiopia were all so familiar. We were also told that he would pick us up in the morning to go see all of our children!
