Last Minute Notes

Well, tomorrow at day's end we drive south to Millbrae's Best Western El Rancho Inn and Suites, where we'll spend the night and leave our vehicles in their park'n'fly. Being at least a national finalist- (if not an olympian-) level procrastinator, I still have a to-do list to be done before departing Redding. Mary and I work tomorrow, though Diane says it's a little shorter day than average.




What with my domestic upheaval and the resultant chaos, nights have been shorter than I would have liked (long story, but a broken pipe on July 16 answered a prayer ). I'm taking along antibiotics and plan to down some Airborne before flights as well. We would all appreciate your prayers for our wisdom, health, safety, and for God to work His will in and through us as we make this trip.




Julie and Priscilla packed Priscilla's vehicle today, and I know Julie has been checking her way down the lists for at least a week or more already. Administration is certainly one of her spiritual gifts! Our reservations in SF, Managua, and Granada have been made, as well as those on the airline to Puerto Cabezas on Saturday. It's always an enjoyable moment for me (even though it makes one suck in one's breath a bit) when you get about an hour out of town, and you realize that if it isn't packed in a bag somewhere, we'll make do without it.






Nicaragua, here we come!

p.s. The woodpile was beside the orphanage last April.
The fire-place wasn't far. Big pots of rice, beans,
are cooked here. Makes for a cooler kitchen!
