Final Preparations

Can't believe it is Wednesday night. I am in Illinois right now doing some training for work. Tomorrow I leave around 3:00 to drive home. Hopefully I will get home by about 8:30PM. I think I finally have all the logistical details worked out for the Kenya to Uganda and back segment (a.k.a. I have a general idea on what we need to do to get there), which is week 5 of the trip. With that done, I can mentally relax for the night. Tomorrow night we have to pack everything. A lot of it is laid out already so that should speed things up.

This week was interesting. I found out that there was paperwork and stuff to fill out and do at work to get the official "OK" to take personal leave. I had already gotten permission from my manager long ago, but apparently there is "Official" procedures. Well I spent about 24 hours worrying that I was going to either not have a job when I got back, or have to pay back all sorts of money. But I talked to someone today and was quite pleased that it isn't going to be any trouble at all. So, thank you God. It is hard to keep my mind on training when something so much bigger is just hanging over.

Such is the life of a part-time missionary....

Our flight leaves in about 36 hours. This is definitely going to be my last post for a long time. I should have plenty to talk about when we get back. If you aren't on our supporter email list and you want to be, email me.

Pray for us...
