Complete!

I am thrilled to inform all of you that our packing is complete and everything comes in at the 50 lb. mark. This is the before...
This is the after...

And another unexpected surprise came in tonight. A friend put an ad on Craig's List and received 40 more cans of formula for us to take along. She also acquired about 40 single serves and 24 single servings of extra nutritious formula for sick infants!! We ended up taking out the clothing donations which will now travel with the Gamble family to Ethiopia in several weeks. We decided the formula was more important now. The clothing can wait just a bit. We give God the glory for his provision for these children!
