One day left! God is so good, and we now have 1181 dollars to give away! Justin had been praying for 1200, and I admit that I really doubted it, but it came through anyway. So, we are blown away by everyone's generosity. Today has been a total whirlwind with buying rain jackets, going to the bank, shopping for waterproof shoes unsuccessfully, (apparently only men want these??) writing a million emails, random things we need, etc, etc. We are feeling tired, which is the exact opposite of how we were hoping to feel, but excited none the less!
We leave at 6 am on Wednesday morning, and will be in Managua, Nicaragua by 6pm that night. On Thursday we will be visiting a dump where kids still live. (All the kids that are in the orphanage in Somoto used to live in a dump, but have been rescued out). There is another ministry working there that we will go and help for the day and see what they are doing. Their goal is the same as The Kids of Cascabel, to get them out of there. I (Emily) am admittedly afraid of this particular day.
Anticipation is mounting, and it's getting harder and harder to fall asleep at night! Pray that our home is safe while we are gone, and that we figure out how to pack all these art supplies into our luggage.
