Well… we leave the church parking lot at 3:30am very early Wednesday morning to travel to DC for our flight to Managua. There is so much to do before then, that we can hardly let ourselves think *too* much about the trip yet. We’ve all agreed to let out a collective sigh upon the plane’s take-off, and to then allow the feelings of excitement to take root. Until then, there is much planning, packing, and preparation to do.
In fact, there was a flurry of activity at our house for several hours on Saturday as our mission team packing the first aid kits we’ll be handing out to campers in Nicaragua. We used an assembly line (of sorts) to place hygiene items (like toothpaste, soap, and washclothes) and medical supplies (like band-aids, antibacterial ointment, and other bandages) into 2-gallon plastic bags.
THANK YOU to everyone who graciously donated time, money, and/or supplies to our trip. We are well prepared with thousands of dollars worth of medical supplies to give out in Nicaragua. After receiving so many medical supplies, we turned our sights on something fun, and sought donations of baseball equipment. (We’re still looking for a set (or two) of bases, in case you happen to have those laying around 
) How exciting to be given gloves, bats, balls, and even some catcher’s gear to take with us! We plan to have an all-camp baseball game at the end of our time with the children from Managua, thanks to your support.
I plan to update this blog as much as I am able while we are in Nicaragua. We covet your prayers throughout our trip!
