it will soon be loaded up with everything we need for 17 days!!!
Yup the bags are officially out and about to be packed! The check list is in the works, all of those many things to do prior to leaving are almost done (I really thought they would be never ending, like I need a vacation just for preparing for this trip...lol) the travel itinerary is ready (did I tell you we will traveling for over 2 days to get there...eek!) I think the travel is the hardest part of the trip, I remember last time the flights there weren't so bad, but coming back is harder because we are usually so ready to be home and it will feel like forever getting here.
Pray for Taylor as these flights will be her first ever...she doesn't seem to have any anxiety as of now, and she does handle motion very well, so I pray she stays in peace about it. She has stated that she's pretty excited about the plane ride :) I'm thankful the first flight is a short one, nothing like what we did to Alley on her first one...which she handled like a trooper! I can already see lots of Swahili practicing, book reading, movie watching, as well as many games of UNO and Skip-bo in play until we pass out!
Continue to pray for the Terry while he stays home handling the daily tasks. Pray for peace and low anxiety levels as well. We will miss several life events while we are gone, Terry's bday (Sept 25th), my parents anniversary (Sept. 20th) and my mom's bday (Sept 24th), but we will be celebrating one big one on the trip, Alley's 21st bday (Oct. 4th)!!
Also, please continue for our team as we head out and for the mission that lies before us. May our hearts be ready and flexible to any and every opportunity God has planned.
Thank you again in advance for all of the support!!! We love you guys and can't wait to share this experience with you.
We are going for only one reason, to show and share the love of Christ.
Becky, Alley and Taylor
