Repacking Party!

I believe we are all ready to go! These last few days seem to drag by as we are all anxious to be on our way in this new adventure! Sadly, one of our team members is not able to come as his daughter was injured badly in a ski accident. Please pray for Mike and his family.
That means we needed to repack and re-prioritize what we were taking as we have to take one less bag. Deb and I met at the farm and unloaded one bag, took the non-medicine stuff off the tops of the drugs in the other bags, re-distributed the medications from the emptied bag and then put non-medicine stuff back on top of the meds! We had to leave a few things behind, but are still in pretty good shape.
We re-weighed the bags. Apparently they are heavier when they are zipped closed! Each bag at 50# and zip tied.Then came the job of cramming all the bags into the back of Deb's little car. We are resourceful and determined! Actually, God made it just the right amount of space. Just don't open the doors :-)

I will be leaving 2 days before the rest of the team to take care of some business. The next post will be from Haiti. Please pray for protection for this team, for safety for our families, for safe travel and for God to prepare the way in Haiti!!
