One more day to go, and our bedroom is an explosion of clothes, bags, and stuff we're bringing! We often think that most of the people going on this trip are going by themselves, and have only one person to pack for. Multiply that by six and it becomes an endurance event to make sure 9 days of clothes are actually all clean (and still have something to wear for the last day or two of this week). We are very ready to be done with planning and get this adventure underway. We both have things pretty much wrapped up at work, have some homework for the kids to take along, and have checked, re-checked, and revised our packing list. We're ready to go!
One big thing we would love prayer for is family health. It will be a full-time task to make sure the kids remember to not eat or drink something that will make them sick. In addition, Pierce is trying to get over a cold/virus this week and Rachel is starting the same cough he just had. Not what you want the day before leaving! We know this trip is well established, and maybe even somewhat of a cushy trip as far as mission trips go, but we still have four young kids to look out for in an environment they have never been in.
Other than that, we are ready and excited to go! We are told there is WiFi at the hotel we are staying and are planning on giving updates as the days progress. Stay tuned!
There is also a group blog they are planning on updating with each day's activity:
