The 4:30am wake up call was not greatly appreciated! But off to the airport, with husband and son, I went. I can't believe it's finally here. Months of meetings, mental and emotional preparation, and suddenly it's time. It won't be too bad for me. I'm accustomed to the travel schedule of incredibly patient husband. But my dear daughter-in-law is not, and she has four little ones to care for. Right now I'm working two part-time jobs, so I'm not as much help as I would like to be. Please pray for her!Several months have passed since my son first talked to his dad about this trip. Now that is a blessing in itself. "Dad, you and I need to go on this building trip. We can do this!" What else could dad say except, "yes"? And they will be good at this. They are both handy with the tools of the trade, work well with others, and most of all, love the Lord. Please pray for their safety, and for a great learning experience for both. (And some serious male bonding, as well.)
On a not so pleasant note, we got a call that the husband's brother had a heart attack tonight. A stent has been inserted, and we are hoping for the best. I'm sure this will weigh heavily on the hearts of two men in Haiti. Pray for the brother, and the men who will be so far from home.
I'll be anxiously awaiting the news of all God has done through this trip, although much may not be known until we are finally with our Lord.

I'm praying for a smooth trip for your guys, and will be praying for your brother-in-law as well.
Praying along with you Gram.
P.S. Did I know you were a scrapbooker? Did you know I love to scrapbook?!
I do love to scrapbook. Unfortunately, my quest for 'perfection' slows me down, and I often spend days, even weeks, making one page. I really need to get over it! I hope that once I'm finished with my two part-time jobs stint, I can work on it some more.
