Almost ready!

I am writing to you from my cell phone app this evening to see what it will be like in Honduras. So far so good. 

Well, I head out on my trip in approximately 36 hours. Craziness. I cannot believe it has arrived so quickly. It seems as if it was just a few weeks ago that I was filling out the application and praying about if this was the right trip for me.  And now here it is!

We fly out of BWI on Saturday morning and land in San Pedro Sula Saturday evening. The place we are staying is about an hour and a half from the airport.  Sunday will be our first day at the camp and our first real experience in Honduras. To say I am excited is an understatement. It's taken a while to get to this place, but ready or not, we'll be off shortly! 

I have never been good at packing. It is not a strength of mine. Currently I have things all over my bed and room waiting to be strategically arranged in one large suitcase and one carry on. We shall see how well it goes. I need to do one more load of laundry and then I think I will have everything I need. I spent about 2 hours today running around to various stores to pick up last minute items to either take for myself or for the hundreds of children we will be meeting. Now to just fit it all in my luggage. 

I wanted to take a quick second before I go and finish my preparations to say that I appreciate every one of you who is reading this and praying for our team. You are just as important to this trip as the members of our team. Your support is making this possible. So thank you!

I will try to update this as frequently as possible throughout the trip. Feel free to post questions or comments and I will try to answer them in the next post. 

Well, as I've clearly described, I have lots of packing left to do before I go, so this is farewell for now. Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers!
