Departure...Closing IN!

Well, reality is at our door step. This time next week (accounting for the three hour difference) we'll be disembarking our plane at the Cap Haitien International Airport! This week will be spent visiting friends and family, putting together the last minute details and packing! The question I've been asked several times is, "How do you pack for an 8-week trip?" Well, here's a photo to give you an idea of the "pile" that's been accumulating the past few weeks - and this is just a portion of what's to come. All-in-all, we're feeling very prepared and very relaxed about being ready and we know that is because we have so many people praying for us. Yesterday's service (barring the little microphone mishap!) was totally wonderful! Having so many pray with us, promises of prayer while we're away and well-wishes just confirmed the blessing a Godly church family is. THANK YOU each one so much! God is good!

On another note, we've been practicing our Creole and have learned a few words, which has been a lot of fun. One I've been practing a lot and am sure to use is ravet - Creole for cockroach!

In Him,

Bud & Cindy
