Game time.

Today's the day, gang! (Finally!)

It still doesn't seem completely real that in less than twelve hours I'll be on my plane headed to London! Whoa!

I'm mostly packed. I just gotta get a few more last-minute items in my backpack (which I've been calling my "go bag" like I'm some sort of expectant mother?)

I'm ready. Our rough itinerary (all times local because I'm terrible at converting time zones):
3:45p - 5:15p - KC to Chicago
8:10p - 9:45a July 25 - Chicago to London
7:05p- 6:55a July 26 - London to Johannesburg
9:00a - 1010a - Joburg to Durban

We'll hang out in Durban for a week, then Lusikisiki for the next week. Then August 8:

12:00n - 1:10p - Durban to Joburg
11:00p - 9:15a August 9 - Joburg to London
11:40a - 3:40p London to Dallas
6:50p - 8:20p - Dallas to homeeeee!

Quick funny story: When I first looked at my itinerary print-out, I misread it and thought my last flight just left me in Dallas. I had a baby-sized panic attack like, Uhhmmmm I don't know anyone in Dallas! How would I get home?? But then I saw that I do, in fact, have a connecting flight.

I'm sure it'll all go by so, so quickly, and I just pray that we're all able to soak it in while giving to the people there; I hope we learn while teaching. Thanks for everyone's support up to this point, and I'm sure the whole team would agree when I say that we'd love for you to keep us in your prayers especially during these next two weeks. Love you all. I'll be home soon.
