The FINAL COUNTDOWN

28 HOURS until we leave for Omaha!  Our day starts when its not-so-bright, but oh-so-early on Saturday morning.  We will be leaving Storm Lake at 3 AM! Then flying to Denver from Omaha, and we should be arriving in Denver by 9am.  And after that we will get the rest of the day to settle in and prepare for a long week of service!  Each day we will head out around 8 and work from then until 4 or 5 at night.  We have already paired up for some group reflection activities after our day's work.  The only mystery at this point is what the work will include each day.  We won't know until we get there because there are so many other groups that came ahead of us and we will just pick up wherever they left off. So each day will be a surprise!  Who doesn't love surprises?!  But no matter what we will be doing, the best part is connecting and learning from the stories of these flood victims.  We all cannot wait to get to know these families and help them put their lives back together in any way we can.  So when you're praying for all of our safe travel, don't forget to pray for the people who really need your prayers, the flood victims.  They are the ones in need of a little extra support.  :)
