5 Days

In the next 5 minutes, it will be 5 days until we leave. I remember being 60 days out and having it feel like a world away. Finals, moving out, and countless papers stood in the way of us leaving. Now, half the team has headed home for a few days to be with their families and to prepare for our departure. A few of us will be hanging around Gordon until we leave. Either way, on Sunday we will all convene back at Gordon to finish last minute details and have some good quality team time and on Monday we are on our way to London! We have about a day and a half of traveling until we get to our final destination of Bulembu.
I want to reiterate our thanks to all of you who have supported us financially or by praying. We would not be going on this trip if it wasn't for you. Please continue to lift us up in your prayers throughout the duration of our trip. We will be seeing and experiencing a lot of things that we can't prepare for. We've met with the team that went last year and their knowledge was invaluable, but they told us that most things we can't prepare for. What we can do is talk through it and cover it in prayer. There is so much peace around this trip and I know that God has gone before us and that He has some amazing experiences for us. (Jeremiah 29:11)
Our advisor, Donna, will be uploading a few short messages on here throughout the month. At most, one a week, just to give everyone a little idea of what we're doing and how things are going. The rest of the team will be on a complete technology fast for the month and I can't wait to see the amazing things that can come out of not having Facebook, the internet, texting or a phone, or tv. It's truly going to be a sight to see!
More details to come as Monday nears! God bless.
