Departing Tomorrow!

Hello again everyone! Tomorrow is our departure date and we are ready to go! Our team was able to pack around 700 lbs. of supplies, crafts, presents for missionaries, books, toys, soccer balls, clothing, shoes and toiletries into 14 bags of luggage! Knowing that the Lord is in control surely is an amazing thing. At first we were discouraged thinking that we would not be able to bring all of the supplies that were donated, but we soon remembered that God is in control and nothing is impossible to Him! You will find an itinerary posted below. Use this as a way to see where we will be each day and pray for our safety and ability to be used by God. Beside of our calendar, you will also find a prayer request from each member of our team. We know that even though we are in a far away land, heaven will be reached by thoughts and prayers of our friends and family from back home. Again, the blog will be updated every few days so make sure you're keeping up with us!
