Final countdown

Each time I've seen one of our high schoolers this week they have given me the countdown to when we take off for Guatemala. I think excitement is building! As I write this, we have 15 1/2 days to go -- we leave two weeks from tomorrow. It's been quite a process, but I am so excited to serve with our teens and leaders. God has been reminding me daily of His guidance and provision. As suitcases arrive, craft supply boxes show up by mail, and skits are practiced, I am reminded how close we are to this adventure.

I look forward to boarding the plane in GR in two weeks because at that point, we'll be on our way and details will have to be complete! As a preview to our posts during our trip, I thought I would share the head shots of our team members that we took for our prayer partner cards.
Meet the amazing team that I get to serve with:
