39 Hours and counting!

hello all. the last five days have been loaded with packing and preparing. Woah! it takes a lot of thought for an entire family to be gone for a month! who knew? needless to say we are a little lacking in sleep, but ahh yes...tomorrow we Sabbath. We had a goal to be totally done by Friday night, ready to walk out the door, so that Saturday we could take our weekly Sabbath. At the completion of this blog, i believe that we have come VERY close to accomplishing our goal! PRAISE GOD!! We have a few things to do tomorrow like put a hold on the newspaper, pick up a prescription and go to the bank.
Here is a little fun fact....each person gets to have 33lbs a piece, a total weight of 99lbs. Well, we set a goal to be Way below that and as of tonight we are sitting right around 51lbs! yippee! that is less than 2/3rds our weight allowed! it will prob. end up being around 70 after we count our super small carry ons.
Thank you for your prayers during our preparation time. You guys are wonderful!

Prayer:

• I spoke with Megan and Mike and they got to go to the Orphanage today! They said the Children look healthy and are growing so much! Praise the Lord today for HIS great provision for them!
• Titus has developed, over the last 4 days, a fear of the dark and hatred for sleep. This in turn leaves Mommy very tired and Titus very crabby. Pray for his Sleep! PLEASE! For his sleep tonight and tomorrow night and then on the plane and in Sudan.
• Pray hard for Rachelle she is very sick. As of last night she was vomiting again. So pray for her wellness and sleep. She has not been able to sleep well.
• Pray that the Lord will keep my mind Sharp as i am tired. I need to remember lots of little things.
• In Yei where we will be staying, there are lots of people in town for a governmental gathering, pray for peace among the people.
• Last night Mike played the movie The Passion of the Christ for all the people staying in the near by hotels. (think huts not marriotts) Pray for salvation!
• Pray for endurance and stamina for our bodies as we travel and parent!

We love yall and i am not sure if we will update again until we are in country. Look for an update from Mike and Megan in the next couple of days!

LOVE TRUTH
