Tomorrow is the big packing day. I have all the supplies I have accumulated since the last meeting on November 17th.
I am sitting here wondering if we are going to have enough suitcases going with us.
We had one person who is not able to go with us due to some family circumstances. I will sure miss having him with us.
Another one of our former team mates passed away in June of 2008 from Pancreatic cancer. I was thinking of him yesterday and thought it is going to be different going without him this time. Though he will be on half our team's hearts.
Tomorrow my church will be supporting our team through prayer. Pastor called to make sure I would be there, so the congregation could pray over me. I am glad to have their support, it means so much.
One of the things that I truly miss is being able to talk to my grandma Lapp about the missions trips I go on. She has been with Jesus for a number of years. She understood my heart for missions. My mom also supported me by cheering me on, asking questions and listening to the stories about what we have planned and what we did. My grandma Hibbard knew alot about cultures, geography and history about different countries. It was always interesting hearing her talk about what she knew.
I mentioned something about being gone to Gary and he put his best pouty face on...I know he is going to miss me. I told him you know...you could go next year! He said you know...I am always so busy this time of year. I said well they would get along without you! I laughed, he did too. I am hoping one day he will be brave and go with me, he doesnt show any desire to though. I know he would have such a blast if he did go, construction and playing with the kids.
