Packing Already!

Wow! We leave in NINE days to go back to Colombia! The missionaries we will be working with came to the States for a mini-vacation and time to be with family, and are enroute to Miami now to catch their flight back to CO!

Ben was able to spend some time with Bro. Milton and introduce him to a few other Pastors in the area. Some of these churches donated sound equipment and a set of drums to the Hill Ministry! Waahoo, God!

Ben was able to talk to Bro. Milton more about what we will be doing there. He has asked Ben to preach on 3-4 different occasions; the kids and I will be serving food to the children and needy. We will be touring the areas in which they minister. We will spend our 2nd Gotcha Day in Cali where we will go to ICBF and deliver some specific donations as well as bring lots of chocolate! And we have asked them to help us find something fun to do with the kids then, too! We will get to go to the three different churches, and the drug rehab!

We are so excited...and yes, I have already began packing! I have the kids' clothes in ONE bag! Now for mine and Benjamin's... can we get it in ONE? I hope so. I have 2 other bags with goodies. I have some back packs, not nearly what I wanted, but it didn't work out well traveling with them...maybe next time? We counted up all the money in the kids piggy banks and have over $40 that they are going to buy some matchbox cars with! They are excited, too!

Oh, and if there's anything any of you out there want us to pick up for ya, let me know. I can't make promises, but I can certainly try! Ciao!

Yay! I can't wait to read all about your trip! I am sure it will be amazing. Hey, if you see a nativity while you're in Colombia, would you pick one up for me? I'll pay for it and the shipping. I'm not looking for any specific kind, so whatever you see (if you see one at all) is fine. Thanks!
