Preparing for a new direction

Well, since Paula and I got home from North Carolina, we have been preparing for our departure for Belo Horizonte, Brazil. We will be leaving Sunday night, and all our efforts have been towards getting the clothes washed, sorted and some packed. Pulling out our summer clothes and doing the same.

Besides that, we are also getting things organized around the house. Emptying the fridge, instructing Jared on what need to be taken care of while we are away, etc...

On top of all that, we're sitting in about 16" of snow here in Mansfield.

We are both very excited for the trip, and somewhat anxious as well. We have a 15 hour travel time, but it's not too bad with only 3.5 hours of layover time. We stop in DC and in Sao Paulo.

Tomorrow we run to Elyria, picking up a parcel from a family member to deliver when we get there. Then spending the evening with Andy and Holly. Sat is final packing day and a farewell dinner with a Prayer Partner here in Mansfield.

I hope to post every couple days here while we are there, sharing our experiences and impressions.

Pray for us, for safe travel, for clarity in our purpose and that we may be a blessing for our hosts.
