Packing Party: 4 days and counting till we're off!!!

The countdown is in the single digits! We're off in just 4 days! Almost 6 months in the making has boiled down to the last frantic days of preparation!

Yesterday the team had our last training followed by our packing party. Not the packing of our personal belonging, rather the 20 bags of supplies we'll be taking with us over to South Africa. Our packed supplies ranged from dodge balls, art supplies, training manuals and VBS materials. There was such an excitiment as we all packed our bags with supplies we all anxiously await putting to good use! HUGE thanks to Keira Kirby for buying all of supplies and visiting 22 stores! What would we have done without you?!

We ask for continued prayers this week as everyone makes final preparations to take flight this Friday! Prayers that we can tie up loose ends at home, work, and school, leaving everything behind with our minds and hearts focused on our goals and all the students that await us in South Africa. Prayer for safe (and non-turbulent) travels would also be great!

Again we want to thank of our of supporters who have made this trip possible for everyone on our team! Everyone who has supported us financially and prayerfully, we truly could not have done it without you!

I can't believer that the next blog update will be coming from direct Bridges Academy! God's got big things in store for the team and Meghan and I so excited to have the privileged of keeping everyone at home updated on all we're doing in South Africa!

WE'RE GOING TO SOUTH AFRICA!
