Packing Party Today

[Sherri]

Today we had a packing party for the eleven of us who are leaving for Kenya in eight days! We had piles of school supplies and medical supplies, as well as lots of toothbrushes and toothpaste (which is VERY heavy, BTW). We also have snacks that we got at Sam's and little baggies that we will divide them up into to hand out in the elementary schools.

We will be visiting several elementary and secondary schools, as well as eleven church services at least. We will also be doing a huge youth rally on Saturday of that week. The team is very excited, and I'm so proud of them. They've all been praying and fasting and seeking God for this trip.

Please pray for travel protection, and that we would all remain healthy. I've never led a trip like this, so it's kind of a big responsibility for me. The most we've ever had before was just four of us. We leave June 13th and return home on the 25th. Eddie will be staying at home, as he just didn't feel like he could leave with all that's going on here.
