As you can see, eight days to go before we leave and our list continues to dwindle (even though we've thought of more things to add). We are getting more excited everyday. Yesterday we were blessed with a commissioning prayer from our church community at Newberg Friends. Hearing their prayers for us and meant so much, and trusting that those prayers will continue will be the thing that sustains us through this trip.

Our week is booked with doctor's appointments, last meals and meetings with friends, store runs, and packing.
