Well folks- time is quickly flying by and departure day is soon upon us!!!! Here's a brief low-down :
~~We are going to meet up as a team the night before, Tuesday, to repack bags and mix in school supplies for the kiddies!!! :) I will post a total number of bags later! :)
~~ We will be meeting at the Chenoa McDonald's to catch our ride to O'Hare, from some very dear friends, at 4am. If you are feeling crazy, and want to come send us off, feel free!! :) If not, I totally understand!! If I wasn't going to Africa, then I wouldn't be up that early either!!!
~~ We are flying from Chicago to DC, then straight to Johannesburg, South Africa, then taking a short connecting flight to Capetown, where someone from Agape will pick us up and drive us to our location!!!
EEEEKKKKKKKK!!!!!!! : D
**** Thanks to all of you who have helped by praying, encouraging, giving supplies, and giving financial support!!!!
*Please pray for us in the final days. Final details with SpreadTruth were set today- which was a big relief!
* Specifically please pray that we can find an automatic car to rent while we are there. I'm stressing about having to drive a stick-shift AND remembering to drive on the other side of the road!!!
Please comment often- the encouragement from dear friends in the States- and all over the world- puts a smile on my face!!!
Love always!!
Just wanted to let you know that I will be thinking of you and wishing you the very best in the days ahead!:) I know these past several days must be very difficult for you saying your good-byes to friends and family, but you will be in great hands and are doing wonderful things for God!!! Prayers, hugs and lots of love coming your way! Keep us posted my friend, love ya, Phyllis
