Friday we packed our stuff into the plane. It was an emotional time to say the least. We could pack 2,400 pounds (sounds like a lot but…we were WAY over that though). We had to sort through a lot of our stuff and figure out what had to stay and what we needed right away. About 600 pounds of school supplies was left behind until we can get another flight to come in and we can raise the funds to get it all in. It was so hard to say goodbye to so much of our stuff, but we know God still has a plan in all of this.
On our way down to Missionary Flights International, we stayed our first night with my family in South Carolina. Thank goodness for flexible people because we didn’t show up until 3:30am :(. It was so nice to hang out with them one last time! Our second day of traveling resulted in the Suburban shutting off about 5 times while we were on the highway, but we made it to our destination, so it’s all good!
We fly out tomorrow at 7am. I’m ready and excited to actually be in the DR! First order of business is figuring out what container everything is in. Then we start on the roof for the school!
I’m going to try to be pretty honest on here. Reason 1 is so that you can pray for the things I’m struggling with! Reason 2 is for those of you who are thinking about doing mission work…rejoice in all things right!
