In DC

Hey all! We are in DC waiting for our ET flight. They waived our extra baggage fees in Chicago for the 50 cans of formula we have with us. ET air is waiting for the manager to get in to make the decision if they can waive the fee for this leg. So PRAY!!! We would LOVE to save this money and be able to donate it back through the Tom Davis fundraiser to get MORE formula to the babes.

We're excited that in a few hours we will begin our journey across the ocean!

I read a quote in a book on the way here that said "The higher the mountain you climb, the better the view on the other side." We are filled with joy and anticipation that we are about to see the other side. :)))

"Good on ya". As you make your way towards this side of the earth and stop half way, we will be remembering you with smiles and wonder. Since we are a head of you in time we will pray for that which is one day a head of you. Matthew & Lori

Hi Semlows,
Hard to grasp the thought that you are finally on your way. what an amazing journey!!!
Our Pastor's message at our prayer service tonight was on the gateway of praise ushering us into God's presence and victory.
Praying that you, your sweet kids and this no baggage fee lifesaving formula would arrive with praise in ET. God is going before you to prepare the way.
Love and hugs and prayers,
Debi
