Well, I'm with Jack. I should be sleeping, but of course I didn't start packing until at least 10pm and before you know it, its 1:30 am and you need to be at the airport in 7 hours. I think most things are checked off the list and ready to go. I've had a whirlwind of a summer leading up to this point and its difficult to wrap my head around the fact that in less than 24 hours I'll be walking out of the airport into the distinct smell of Lima, Peru. And while I can't believe its here, I'm so glad it is.
Thanks to everyone who has aided us in the preparation for this trip, we didn't get here alone, that's for sure. Please continue to pray for us as we travel and arrive and set out to do whatever work is placed before us. Pray that relationships would be built quickly and that we would be able to be more of a family than a team, that we'd walk together as one in the next two weeks. Pray that weather and labor conditions are favorable, that we would get where we need to be. And also pray that our words, often our translated words and lessons and discussions, would be blessed and honest, that we would convey our love and excitement so clearly and that the people of La Merced would know that we are committed to walking beside them as they do great things in their community and shoot towards their full potential, because they have worked hard and learned much, not because anyone from Blackhawk did anything.
ciao for now,
laura
