I'm all packed and ready to head out to Ethiopia tomorrow morning!! It's just so crazy to think that one year ago today I landed in Minneapolis with Durant and had our family of five together for the first time!! Now almost a year to the day later, I head out for a third time to Ethiopia. This is only possible because of God's favor on our lives. Thank you God!


Talk to you all when we get back in two weeks!!!

Here is what I put on the KVI post:

Christy, Jen, and I (Nikki) are off to Ethiopia!! We hope to be able to post while there, but if not, we will have lots of updates to add when we get home. We have a lot we hope to accomplish while there. The biggest thing being opening another orphanage in another city. We are still praying about which city God wants us to work in and trust that He'll lead us to the right place. Please keep us in your prayers for:

• Safety for the three of us

• Safety for our families back at home

• Heath for the three of us and our families back at home

• Focus to get the work done

• Sense of God's presence and direction

• Energy to play with the children :)

Thank you! We appreciate it so much and we can't wait to come back with updates and stories of how God moved while we were in Ethiopia!!!
