E-mail Update...

Dear Friends and Famille!

I can't believe Friday November 13th has arrived! In one hour I will say goodbye to the Africa Mercy and all of the friends that I have made over the past 3 months and make the 24 hour journey to Ethiopia to meet up with Dad, Ashley and Teki. It will be hard to say goodbye to everyone here, but I can't help but be excited to be reunited with my Ethiopian pals. Please be praying for safe travel and for travel mercies, especially that my flight from Benin to Paris would be on time because I only have a one hour lay over to catch my flight out of Paris to Frankfurt to then head to Addis with Ashley. Flights out of Benin are often late and I am a bit nervous that I will be stranded in Paris, but I also know I am in God's hands and he will take care of me.

This next week I will be working with dad in Northern Ethiopia helping out with eye clinics and sharing the gospel before heading to the Middle East next Friday for one final week of ministry there working with university students. Please also pray for strength as I have finally fought off that nasty virus that I have had for the past month... God is so good because I am feeling 100% for the first time in 4 weeks and just in time to leave. :) Thank you again for all of your prayers and encouragement. I will update again soon but wanted to keep you in the loop of my departure.

I look forward to seeing you all soon and am so thankful for each and every one of you as thanksgiving is fast approaching and I am reminded that I have so much to be thankful for.

Love to you all....

Katie
