The Goal is in Sight

Today is June 4th
We leave on July 4th
Wow, that's just a month away!

So much has been going on for our team the last few weeks. Our supplies have arrived! Now it's just a matter of packing 8 boxes full of stuff (totaling 133 lbs) into a few suitcases. How are we going to do it? I have no clue, but we'll figure it out at our packing party.

One thing that we purchased to use in the camp and then leave with our hosts is the coolest felt board ever! I know what you're thinking, felt boards are not generally thought of as cool, but this one is. There are three boards with different backgrounds, and over 700 figures (standing Jesus, sitting Jesus, sleeping Jesus, birds, ark, etc) 700!! This thing will tell every bible story you can imagine, and with the language barrier, it's going to be a great tool.

There is on draw back to this amazingly cool 700+ piece set. IT'S NOT CUT OUT!!! There are several giant sheets of felt on my sofa with beautiful images laser printed to perfection on them just waiting to be cut out. I have a feeling I'm going to get a little carpal tunnel cutting all that.

We are also getting closer to our financial goal, just a few thousand to go. If you have not donated yet, please click the link to the right and help us out. Any amount would make a huge difference to our team.
