After planning for this trip for at least a year, the time has finally come. What has been a dream is now a reality. Pastors Tom and Jerry have spent a lot of time trying to prepare us for what we will be seeing and experiencing when we get there. The hardest part of the trip will be over by tomorrow night, the packing and the travel will be over with. I have packed my suitcase at least three times, Dave has been so patient helping me get ready.

There are so many emotions gettting ready. There is a sense of excitement, expectancy, awe, thankfulness and many more, including a slight case of the jitters. To me, this is a trip of a lifetime, and I can't wait to get started.

For those of you praying for us and keeping up with our progress, Thank you.
