preparing

I think we have gotten everything anyone could possibly need for a mission trip and more. Tuesday I went to work with Amanda and prepared packets and cards for everyone going on the trip. We ventured to Bed, Bath, & Beyond, and Barnes & Noble for some last minute necessities. We ran some errands this morning and we are going to a cookout at Amanda's friends house and then plan to watch the fireworks here in Asheville, NC. Tomorrow I will finish decorating the packets for the mission team and we are going to a play at the Play House in Hendersonville (it is supposed to be a comedy) tomorrow night. We will spend Friday doing any last minute stuff and making sure we get everything for the trip packed into our luggage. I will keep you posted over the next couple of days, then we leave Saturday morning for Costa Rica. There is an internet cafe close to where we are staying, so if all goes well we will be able to email and keep in touch while I am there, no guarantees though. I won't be calling anyone either, I called my cell phone company to check on charges from Costa Rica. Any & all calls will be $2.29 per minute and text messages are $.50 each. So after Saturday I will write as often as possible, but I am not sure how often that will be. Take care and thanks for reading!
