Packing Reminders

Dear Team,

Four days and we will be in Guatemala and three more nights in your own bed, Can you believe it. This morning we started telling our oldest daughter who is almost two that I was Going and she said “no bye, bye daddy”. Then we started telling her that I was going to build houses for children that didn’t have a house like she did to sleep in; that we were going to hold babies and play with children that didn’t have a Mommy and Daddy like she did. She then started jumping on the bed and saying “Yeah Daddy”. She probably thought I was taking her to get donuts, but we will assume the best and believe that she understood every word and was really excited about me going. It really is exciting what we are about to do, and how so many lives will be different in a week due to you being available and willing for God to use you in Guatemala.

Below is a list of things to remember to Pack “Hopefully at this time your suitcase is out”. This is just to help and not exhaustive, if you have any questions please let me or Rhonda know.
