Getting the blog rolling.....

Merry Christmas! (and "Hi" Mom, I am sure you are reading this) We are almost 5 weeks away from leaving and being in beautiful and spiritually hungry Addis Ababa! In an endeavor to have a central location for general information, pictures and praise, we have started this blog.

We are blogging missionaries. Blogginaries. Soccer Playing Blogginaries. :)

This is going well so far!

For you our family and dear loved ones, we want to send our gratitude! You prayed for us, supported us, spurred us along in so many ways. In that, you are truly joining with what God is doing first in us and then through us in Ethiopia. Thank you, thank you. I can't describe how it feels to have people who believe in you and the Work God has asked you to do to this extent. It is humbling and uplifting all at once.

So, if you are praying and we happen to pop into those prayers, here are a few things:

Peace for our families as we three single "gals" venture off into Ethiopia.

Our partners, Serving in Missions and Sports Friends Africa, in Ethiopia

Our finances: none of us are completely there

All our pre-trip preparations. There are MANY!

Thank you. We love you.

May you experience the celebration of the Most Precious Gift, Jesus, in a new and life-stirring way.

In the Peace of Christ,

Sarah (For Sunshine & Ali)
