Mexico - T minus 10 hours!

I thought I'd take a little break from my packing frenzy (or what is supposed to be a packing frenzy anyway) to give everyone a small update on our travel itinerary. We are slated to leave Taylor at 2:30 Friday morning to drive to the Indianapolis airport. The first part of our group (Austin, John, and the Lions members) will fly out at 6:45 am. They fly to Detroit, then Mexico City and should arrive there around noon. The rest of us (all the Taylor students, led by Arlene and Brad and Kelly Yordy) fly out at 8:05. We travel from Indy to Phoenix to Mexico City with an ETA of approximately 2 in the afternoon. From Mexico City we will take a bus to Santiago Tianguistenco. Basically, in a little less than 24 hours, we should all be in Mexico!!!!

As you may have noticed, leaving at 2 doesn't give a lot of time for sleeping tonight. I think most of us plan to stay up until then and then grab a few hours of sleep on the bus/in the airport/on the plane. Perhaps you could pray that we will all be rested by the time we actually have to start working. Also, I would venture a guess that my room is not the only one that currently looks like a war zone so wisdom for packing is also still a prayer request! ;) 

Right now I am still having trouble realizing that this is actually going to happen. I have a feeling that it isn't really going to hit me until we get on the bus. I know one thing that I am trying to pray is that God will really open each of us up to the things that He wants to show/teach us while we are gone. Wow...it is so close! Thank you sooooo much for your prayers!!!!! We can't wait to see what God is going to do with us!
