The Anticipation is Building....

It's almost time! It's almost time!  I can probably speak for quite a few members of the team when I say that the excitement and the anticipation for this trip has reached almost peak level.  The months of preparations are finally coming together..the passports, tickets, donations, fundraising, shopping, packing....it's all been a whirlwind of excitement.

Yesterday, our team came together one final time before our trip.  We were each given our Mission Team t-shirts and some really awesome cross necklaces for our trip.  The church called us forward and we were introduced as a team and prayed over.  Then we marched over to the office to start packing our loot.  Here are a couple of pictures of us...we are missing 7 of us in each pic.  Take a look at the VERY Awesome t-shirts!!!! 

 

And then Todd jumped out of the pic so that Jenny could be in one :)

 

Look at all the loot we needed to pack!  So excited to be bringing these things with us to the DR to donate to people that need them.  

Here is a shot of all of our luggage, stuffed and ready, labeled with orange tape for easy identification.

We are in our final countdown.  Please be in prayer for our team as we make our final preparations.  Also, please pray for the people of the Dominican Republic...that God will prepare the way to do some amazing things during our short stay there.
