Preparation

So this week has been a long one...I arrived in El Paso on Monday night! It was awesome to be able to be here with everyone who is going on YIM this summer. There are 61 people in total going to 17 different countries for 8 weeks. After everyone arrived on Tuesday, we took a 2 1/2 hour drive to New Mexico at a camp where we have done various exercises with our teams to get us ready for the rest of the summer. 

Today is our last day at the camp and we are preparing for our final challenge...which will be a World Feast tonight! This shows us how MOST of the world truly lives and how everyone is able to function and live! It will be a tough night but one that should open the eyes of several individuals here. 

Our team heads out at 3:30 am on Sunday morning...we do not know our whole travel plans but we will be going through Houston, Atlanta, Nairobi, Kenya, and then into Rwanda. It is supposed to take us a couple of days to get to our final destination. So we are looking at arriving in Rwanda late on tuesday night or wednesday morning. We have an over night stay in Kenya. 

This summer we are going to be traveling a bit through different countries around Rwanda. So please pray for safety because a lot of these countries are unstable and in need of some good loving. Hopefully we can show them God! :)

Please pray for everyone on YIM this summer, already plans are changing for a lot of teams and it is a little difficult to anticipate what all God has for us this summer. It is also scary and a little nerve racking for some of us! 

I will try to write tomorrow but there is no promises as to when the next time I can write will be! SO more than likely the next time I update this will be when we are in Africa after a fews days of travel.
