Africa Update - It's going to be a long day...

Make sure you say a special prayer for the Visiting Orphan's Africa Mission Team before you go to bed tonight... tomorrow is going to be a very long day for them. 


The team had an awesome day today! The orphanage had 600 children!!! Yes, 600 children... starting from a week and 1/2 old baby all the way up. Jess got to play "football" aka soccer today and hold babies. The team also ate at really nice restaurant on lake Kivo. 


The team will be leaving in the morning for a 4 hour drive to the airport, then hang out while they have a 4 hour layover in Ethiopia. They will get into country the next day at 1:30am, go through customs etc. and then jump on a bus for another 3 hours to make their way to the hotel to have breakfast... and then start their day. There won't be any sleeping, other than what they get on the plane & bus, so keep the whole team in your prayers... asking for them to be renewed and energetic for all the kiddos they will be working with in the next day or so. 


Jess probably won't have internet over the next day or 2 so we won't be posting any updates. 


Pictures are slim with her, but I did managed to get a group photo from her.
