We are headed to Africa - posted by Karen

Gramma Shirley, Mama Karen, Sister Amy and Auntie Lorie are in London, England! We are waiting to board our plane for Freetown, Sierra Leone, Africa! We have 8 bulging suitcases checked through, filled with your generous donations of over the counter pain meds, cortisone cream, exam gloves, flip flops and shoes, underwear, clothes, sheets and curtains for the ministries we will be serving while there! Thank you for your donations of items and money that will be used for these people that are so near and dear to Christie's heart! Please keep praying that ALL EIGHT suitcases make it to Africa!

When we arrive, Christie will meet us with a jeep, and we will pile all 8 suitcases on top of the jeep, African style. Then 6 people and all of our carry-on luggage will squish into the jeep and we will travel 90 miles (about 4 hours) to Bo. Please pray that the tires and everything else works on the jeep so that we make it to Bo without mishap!

I hope that our next post will have a picture of the jeep and all of our supplies! Thank you for your generosity and your continued prayers!
