Kathleen here...

The countdown continues.........as our household completes the last-minute tasks: taking the pets to the vet, getting their licenses, copying vital documents, packing, organizing and praying over family and friends staying here. And - Oh yes - I had my car in the shop the last two days.Yes, Leyna, this will be the experience of a lifetime, to be sure. I'm excited about the work we'll be doing and the new lifetime friendships we'll be forging. I'm also envisioning future visits to San Miguel de Allende when we can accompany other mission teams, and see the orphanage prosper. One of the best things about being able to communicate this way is that we'll be staying in touch with friends and family back home, and they'll have an opportunity to 'share' our experience almost as quickly as we experience it.
