We are officially on our way. After a great "night" of packing our luggage we made a quick stop at steak and shake and then headed on our way to drive the 5 hours to Miami for our flight. We had some awesome blessings already! First three of our guy friends offered to drive us down which allowed us to get some much needed sleep. Second, we had originally we had each planned to take all of our stuff in our carry on baggage and fill our suitcases with all of the stuff for the orphans that we had collected/bought. When we started filling our suitcases last night we quickly ended up filling up three extra suitcases. When we got to the airport this morning they had computer failure and allowed us to take the extra baggage for free, this would have been around $100+!!! What an awesome blessing. We will continue to keep you updated. Below are a few of our prayer requests at this point.
- Guitar strings for Kasey (Kasey brought her guitar to be able to play some songs to the orphans, however, in the airport 2 of her strings popped, pray we can find somewhere she can get new strings)
- safety for our flight (please pray that we have safety on the flight to the DR)
- Emotional Stability (during our preparation for this trip we have gone through and studied every verse in the bible that mentions orphans or fatherless, because of this we have come to somewhat begin to understand God's passion for these children. We know that when we meet them and develop relationships the need will become even more real. Please pray for our emotional stabilty both while there and when returning.)
Thank you so much for your prayers, support and love!
