We're on our way!

Tomorrow (Wendesday) at 9:45 pm Rebekah, Macy, Whitley and I will be flying out of DFW and on our way to Phnom Penh. We will be changing planes in Los Angeles and Taipei, Taiwan. We should arrive mid morning on Friday. Jared is also leaving tomorrow, but will be flying separately. John and Paul have been working with the church in Bangkok, Thailand for a week and will join us in Phnom Penh on Friday.

As I was packing today I have gotten more and more excited to leave. Even though we've been planning for months, today it sunk in that we are really leaving. A week ago our team spent a few days at Bastrop State Park for a team retreat before we all headed home. The great time we had there together bodes well for how we will get along for the next month. As we dealt with issues such as a broken tent and delays in schedule we were forced to get out of our comfort zones and be flexible. I hope this gave us all a small taste of how our patience and comfort will be stretched over the next few weeks. Pleas pray for us all to have patience and for us to show God's love in everything we do. I hope God will keep the excitement we have now going strong until the end. Also, please keep the students we will meet in just a few days in your prayers. I know God is working in their hearts and lives to prepare them for the message we get to share with them.

We will be in touch soon to let you know we arrived safely. We will rotate who writes the posts throughout the trip so you can hear from all of us and see different perspectives of our experiences here. We can't wait to share this journey with you!
