Tonight, we met as a team to gather and pack all the things that we purchased or that was donated by church members, family and friends. We learned of some sad news tonight, that Jim and Betty will not be making the journey with us in body, but will be with us in spirit. Jim fell and broke his knee cap and will be immobile for 3 weeks. Betty, his wife, will be staying at home with him. While we will miss them terribly, we know that God has a plan in all of this. Jim and Betty came out help us, Jim with crutches and all.
These are the duffle bags that each one of us will be checking in as our own. We cracked jokes tonight about the normal questions you asked by the agents at the ticket counter, "did you pack your own bags" and "have your bags been in your possession at all times". While the answers may be no, I think we are a pretty trustworthy bunch :)
