We’re leaving on a jet plane…
Friday, December 27,
2013
After much anticipation, the
day has finally arrived—our little family departs for an adventure of a
lifetime! Kolkata, India—here we come!
(Lots of bug spray packed!)
The past week has been a
whirlwind of activity and emotions. We
have so much to be thankful for. We had
the honor of hosting Christmas here for our family on the 23rd. We started our day with visiting Randy’s mom
in the lodge (Carman) and then the crew came to our place for the rest of the
day into the evening. Many stories were
shared and laughter filled the air!
We had a leisurely Christmas
morning at home, dedicated time to bible reading/discussion, and opened
presents. The “tone” of the day changed
in the afternoon: completed packing
suitcases (weighing each one to stay within regulations) and took down all of
our Christmas decorations (I did not want to return to that in February). We
ended our Christmas festivities at my adopted parents’ place yesterday.
Of course there were
additional “to-dos” that seemed never ending (I will spare you the boring
details). And now we are only a couple
hours away from departing!
We ask for your thoughts as
prayers as we travel. Each of us is
fighting a bit of a cold and it would be wonderful if they finished running
their course upon arrival on the 29th!
Now it’s time for me to rouse
the two sleepy heads. Looking forward to
updating you on our journeys!
Until next time…
