Tomorrow is the day! We leave Spokane early tomorrow evening, and off we go! Please pray for safe travels and that no one will forget anything really important:-). Please pray that I will really push myself when it comes to making close relationships with the people in our group, and with the people I meet in Central America. Also, please pray against diarrhea. Yes, it will be an issue for everyone.

Thanks so much and I love and will miss you all!
