We are busy checking everything off our list. The last couple of days I haven't felt that I was getting much done, but at the end of the day, between Jeff and I, we have checked a couple things off. We received our flight info in the mail yesterday! We also lined things up with our bank and the State Department so they know of our plans. Besides the big job of packing and buying the last remaining items we mostly just have small little tasks left.
Yesterday we had our travel conference call with our agency. There wasn't too much new information we didn't already know either from our agency, power of attorney or previous travelers, but it was so fun to have this milestone in the journey. The best part was that each family in the group had a chance to introduce themselves. Mostly for the first time, we heard the voices of the families we will soon be meeting in DC or in Rwanda. The Lord has given us a wonderful blessing in the traveling partners we will have. Our group is made up of 9 different families from all over the US. So many of these moms and dads have become friends of ours through this long journey. They have lifted us up in prayer when we have most needed it, they have given us the most encouraging words and support when we have been down. We are so blessed with 2 of our very best friends who will be traveling the entire trip with us and many years beyond. We have prayed for each of these families daily for months (years now) and for their beautiful children. We cannot wait for next week when we will join together with these friends and finally meet in person! And we get the awesome privalege of witnessing them meet their new children for the very first time. How amazing that will be!
8 More DAYS!!!! Can't wait to see you all there :)
