I am really prepared?

This is a question I have been asking myself a ton lately. Last night Kayla and I read over the guidelines. This made my questions go away somewhat. As far as I know donations to take down to Haiti with us are going really well.

The only thing that I'm slightly worried about at this point is flying. This will be my first time flying ever. Yikkers! It will for sure be an adventure.

I checked the weather for Port-au-Prince yesterday and it looks like we will all be getting a pretty good tan. I'm so excited for the chance in weather. The snow is getting pretty old.

I know that God knew this earthquake was going to happen and that we were planning this trip. There is no mistake there. He knows what He is doing and I find major amounts of comfort in that.

Aniticipation

So it is exactly two and a half weeks until Alyssa, Kayla, and I leave for Haiti. I must admit that I am getting a little nervous to go. We have no idea what to expect. I guess all I am prepared to see is much devastation. I know that God has got our backs on this one and he will be the One that will protect us. It comforts me to know that the US military is down there so if we get in-trouble we can just go to a military member.

My job at the daycare and all the babysitting I have done has definitely prepared me for this trip. Continue to pray for last minute preparations that we are planning and for our hearts to be willing to do whatever God wants us to do while we are down there.

Here is the website to the orphanage where we will be going.
