Yesterday marked 5 weeks away from our departure! We haven't figured it out for sure yet but I think we are meeting at the church about 2:30 am and pulling out by 3 am!! The "kids" are all excited about that...me not so much :-) Oh, it will be fun!!
We talked about what to pack last night. We each only get 1 50 lb. check in bag (and a carry-on). We have a ton of shoes and t-shirts we would like to take along to deliver to those in need. I am hoping we can get them down there at no charge for any extra weight or bags.
Every day we get closer to the amount we need for our final big payment. As of this morning we need $3207 to make our $12,400 payment...so that is pretty exciting! We need it by Sunday, to make the payment on Monday :-). We are running a campaign right now called Embrace El Salvador (see earlier post). Basically we will deliver your hug to a Salvadorian child for $10 (suggested) and give you a photo of the hug and possibly a personal note from the child. We will be participating in soccer camp, VBS, and English school while in El Salvador so we plan to hug a lot of kids! If you go to CGC you can sign up on Sunday. If you are not local, respond to this post or shoot me a message on FB. Hugs are tax deductible if you make checks to Community Gospel Church! What a sweet deal!!
