I'm already there...

Sounds like a song you heard once doesn't it? Well, it sums up where my heart sits at this moment. For the last month or so I have been praying and preparing for this year's trip and having been there already have the advantage of knowing what amazing things we're headed to see and hopefully do. As a result, my heart and mind have been in Cape Town (when they're not changing a diaper, cooking dinner or cleaning house). My whole family is getting re-educated about Africa and Jackson has a real interest in a little girl who's Grandmother I got to know. He prays for her and her family every night and I don't doubt God hears his unselfish prayers long before He hears mine.

Please pray for us as we put the final touches on the preparations for this trip. We've done a lot already, but there is still so much to do and we're under a month away now. Pray for endurance, soundness of mind and that above all we will remember that we are going to plant seeds for Christ that Living Hope will help to harvest. Check back often as the stories will be amazing...I promise. It will be like..."you're almost there!"

I am praying for you all already. Wish I could be there. Anyone who is going to Muizenberg please give Leslie a hug for me (or else just tell him I said hello!). Please blog as often as you can so that we here in the states can keep up with you. And be sure to stock up on Tylenol PM for that horrendous plane ride.
