Africa…9 days away.
Some stuff I’m realizing…
-How God has pulled this all together pretty quickly…from adjusting schedules to Jenny’s sister having the freedom to come hang with our kids.
-How supportive everyone has been…especially financially. Our church. Our family. A network of friends and other churches I have tried to bless along the way. It’s amazing how it comes back to you.
-That “25 hours on the plane” isn’t combined for the trip there and the trip back. It is one way!
-That our missionaries there recommend sleeping under a mosquito net each night.
-That the malaria pills I start taking this Sunday are known to cause hallucinations. Fun?
-That over the last 14 years, our missions ministry at Suncrest has invested over $100,000 in the Church planting ministry there. Can’t wait to personally thank Danny Buegar for his faithful leadership and see the fruit of such an investment.
Don’t forget to take Dramamine in case you go on any bumpy rides… I didn’t notice queasiness from the anti-malaria meds until I got back and went sailboat racing … 3 seperate times that summer and I had never had a problem before or since…..can’t hurt to take it just in case… i lost a bit of weight too because i just wasn’t that hungry in Haiti for some reason… not sure if it was the heat or the food or the meds…. should be a nice perk for the “Biggest Loser” competition. Have a blast! Mary
