Getting closer all the time

Hi, everyone-

It seems like it's taking forever to get here, but I know that August 8th will be here and I'll look up and say :what-we're leaving already?" There's still so much to do to get ready-reading to prepare myself , stuff to buy, packing,etc. but I just want to go!

Last night at our team meeting, Pastor Cory asked what we were looking forward to the most, and I said "seeing with my own eyes the people and their problems, and seeing how I can help"- but I think in an even larger sense I'm looking forward to having the opportunity to serve God in a way I wouldn't have dreamed possible just a few months ago.

As I prepare myself mentally, I find myself stripping away the things in my life that i don't really need, and trying to understand what it must be like to live day-to-day just wondering where your next meal is coming from. I get angry now when i hear someone say something like "I had a horrible night last night-the satellite TV was out and my internet went down-it was AWFUL!" I think this is what Pastor Vince spoke of on Sunday when he said to get angry about something because that's the only way you'll change it.

Okay, enough with the heavy stuff- THANK YOU to everyone who has given us support so far-prayer support, financial support, moral support- we appreciate it SO MUCH! Please keep the team (myself, Pastor Cory and Shanna Hunneyman, and Sue Strowe) in your prayers as we make the final push to get ready!We're going! Until next post--Peace

Dan
