Decisions, Decisions, Decisions!

What do I take and what do I leave?  First of all our "ministry" suitcase was too small so I borrowed one.  The person delivered it to me Wednesday night and before they got it to me the pull handle broke off of it.  On Thursday we had borrowed new ones.  We can only take 50 lbs in each bag and the suitcase itself weighed 11 lbs.  Finally we made a decision.  I am carrying a big duffle bag that was given to me on Thursday and I found an additional duffle bag today.  They weigh a lot less so I will be able to get more supplies in it.  I suggested it to a few other of our trip mates and they are changing some of their bags out.  We want to take as much as we can to China.  The English books are making everything weigh heavy.  That's what they need so that's what they will get.  We will use extra space in our personal luggage as we take some food supplies to our "friends" in China.  They requested light brown sugar, crystal light tea, good seasoning dressing packets and a few other things.  We will be able to give them a little taste of home by giving them some things off of their "want list".

We are only about 40 hours away from the first leg of our journey!  Please remember each of us to the Father.  May we never be the same again when we return.
