Pre-Boarding Update

Thanks to those of you who have come by to check this site out and find out what is going on before we leave for our trip. And thanks to those of you who prayed and supported the recent Idaho trip who have agreed to support us in prayer. If you didn't know about the Idaho trip you can read their blog here and see what happened while they were in two small towns in Idaho. We will be updating this more frequently from now on.

We leave on Thursday! Today we have a meeting after church with all the students and parents to go over everything and answer any questions. I am looking forward to the excitement that comes from getting everyone together.

We will do our final purchasing and packing this week. On Wednesday we are going to meet at the church to pray and pack before leaving Thursday morning at 7:00.

Prayers
- Sickness: many of our teens (and myself) have just spent a week at camp and are not feeling their best. I thought I had allergies but now it feels more like a sinus infection. Please pray that we will be able to maintain our health and stay focused on what is important.

- Readiness: We have spent time preparing and now it's time to put it into action. Pray that what we have done to prepare will be used by God in situations that arise.

- Travel: we're driving through Wyoming on Thursday and you just never know what might happen on the road.

- Excitement: this is my first trip (of many) with our students. I am really excited about what we will experience and want our students to be just as excited as I am. There are a ton of reasons to be excited, as well as slightly scared (our students haven't done a trip like this). The fear of the unknown must be outweighed by the thrill of something new.

Okay Jared, hopefully this works, because I am tired of seeing a wrong password message and about to give up. Read your profile and I absolutely love the stuff that Yancey writes. Will be praying for your trip and all of the details. 1st Samuel 12:23
