Only two more days til we leave for Asheville. The plan is to go to Asheville, check into our hotel, have dinner, and spend the night so we don't have to drive up so early for our flight out on Friday.
Meanwhile tensions mount, natives are burning smoke signals outside our house, and chaos triumphs. Well at least in my mind. I'm trying not to freak out, but with running my business, packing, having interns here and hoping everyone is doing well, it's been a bit much. The last two mornings have been spent in two different elementary schools sharing Jesus with little Guatemalan kids that live in Burke County. Don't fly somewhere to do missions that you aren't doing in your own backyard. So we have spent the majority of the week working hard and spending time with our mission team's families having dinner and cruising Lake James. We all agreed at our dinner that until we actually get into the country, it's hard to put ourselves there. I have so much to finish up her at The Thankful Goat that it's hard to actually do anything:P
So the final countdown begins. I have to pick up Isaac and my antibiotic for the sinus infections we got from Dorian, finish packing, and be ready to drive away at 4:30pm on Thursday. Other than that, I guess we are about done.
I want to say a big thank you to everyone that donated to our trip. Casey and Nathan brought over bags of chocolate chips, some last minute spending money was given to both Isaac and myself. And all the beautiful people that let Isaac work for them to raise his last funds and some very special people in our church who wrote a check that "paid in full" our very last bits. Also everyone that gave birthday and Christmas money to Isaac who has been saving since mid December of last year!!! Also thanks to three other Journey friends for donating to Isaac's fund.
God be glorified, Jesus be lifted high, He is our mighty savior and will protect and guide us. Thank you for your prayers. We will post daily in Guatemala.
