I cannot believe that we're leaving for Guatemala in just over a day. This week has flown by so fast that there hasn't been much time for it to sink in yet. We had a "packing party" tonight where we packed supplies for VBS and supplies for our team into nearly twenty duffel bags then we weighed each bag to make sure it's within the 50 pound maximum for checked baggage. We also got vital instruction tonight such as: do not drink the water; do not touch your face with your hands; use hand sanitizer often; do not flush the toilet paper. Hmm...now that I think about it, we didn't get instruction on what to do with the toilet paper. Guess we'll figure that out when we get there. :)
I have most of the Spanish songs down. I'm still stumbling a tiny bit, but one of the biggest pieces of advice I was given is to be patient with myself, so I plan to do just that. I am not going to stress over it. I'm actually surprised how quick and easy memorizing the songs ended up being.
We're finishing up the last-minute details...tomorrow after work we'll be taking our dog to Paul's parents' house and then coming home to pack. We're supposed to meet at Asheville airport at 4 AM Friday morning. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!
Hope to update more when we get there. Thanks for praying!
