Hey, tomorrow morning starts the travel. I’ve tried not to do the math of how long it will be total. Please pray for me for traveling mercies and fitting in sleep for the next 48hours. Some of you have asked about the itinerary:
10ish tomorrow morning: I fly out of Orlando to JFK
6ish tomorrow evening: meet up with team and fly from JFK to Paris
10ish in the morning, Paris time: fly to Kieve, Ukraine
Not sure when-ish, Ukraine time: start 9 hour train ride to Odessa.
The good news is that our first month will be spent in Odessa, which is near the Black Sea. And we will be spending it with a Gypsy church there and working with children doing sports camps and crafts and stuff. One of the first World Race blogs I ever read was about this dude that was hanging with the gypsies… so, I’m kinda stoked!
P.S. I’m all packed. I fit all of this:
Into this:
My favorite item I am taking with me is this:
(It will help me to kill wild boar, if I need it to.)
This is mom keeping me sane in the late hours of the night:
Okay, thank you all again for your support, your prayers, and your excitement. I’m not sure when the next blog will come (whenever I can next find the in-ter-net)… much will happen and change between now and then I’m sure. For now, Ukraine… here I come. 🙂 Love.
