So close, yet so far away...

Yes, we are so close! Only three days to go until we board our first flight for the other side of the world! I'm getting very distracted by the upcoming trip...it makes it hard to concentrate on the here & now. In another sense, we are so far away. I was trying to remember yesterday what life was like in Uganda. It's so different, so far away, so surreal, that it seems like a dream. When we're over there, our whole life here will just seem like a dream! (Or at least it did to me...)
Our crate is now safe in the hands of Joab, and I can think of no where safer. After some haggling over prices during customs, it's finally where it should be!
We're also welcoming an eleventh-hour member, Dave Wolf. We're excited to have him on board! Dave is the twelfth member of our team. I haven't talked to him, but I am sure he is very busy with last-minute preparations!
This weekend we have our send-off dinner Saturday night at Galletto's (which will be so much fun!), then a commissioning service at Brethren Community Fellowship on Sunday.
I will try to post every other day (or so) while we're in Uganda. Susanna (who has been over there for 2-3 weeks) has had trouble with internet connection, so it may be a little sketchy. We will all do our best to keep you updated. Thank you for your continued prayers!
