...i'm leaving on a jet plane...

Chin- (July 20th-July 23rd)
Random thing I'm carrying with me:  A block of frozen cheese for Jayme
What I look forward to: W-rshiping with brothers and sisters in Chin-!
What I'm not looking forward to/fearing: getting used to the heat and humidity
Pra-y that: I'll have a safe flight and find my friends at the airport.

Ph-lippines (July 23rd-July 30th)
Random thing I'm carrying with me:  15 little gift packages of coffee, creamer, candy, and nuts for family I've never met
What I look forward to:  Seeing my mom's roots (farm, family, etc.), seeing my grandparents
What I'm not looking forward to/fearing:  being overwhelmed by family/new people, being taken advantaged of, tension between my grandmother and other family members
Pr-y for: my grandmother-her stubbornness and dementia is NOT a good mix and she's physically and verbally harming family, also pr-y that G-d would open up some good conversation with my grandfather and his relationship with the L-rd.

Chin- (July 30th-Aug 4th)
What I look forward to:  Amy flying out to meet us
What I'm not looking forward to/fearing:  the temptation to be materialistic
Pr-y that: I will not be jaded by materialism and that my heart would be soft for people, pr-y for ways I can encourage my friends that live in Chin-

Om-n (Aug 4th-Aug 16th)
Random hing I'm carrying with me:  A Josh Groban CD for one of my friends
What I look forward to:  reconnecting with Omani friends, growing closer to the students on my team, pr-yerwalking
What I'm not looking forward to/fearing: the full day and a half I will be by myself in Om-n, sp-ritual attacks (our team senses we are going to go through a lot more than last year!)
Pr-y for: my first day/night there by myself (I will get there Aug. 4th 9:30pm PST time.), my team and attacks, pr-y for our pr-yerwalking especially around Bahla the capital of witchcraft and sorcery in the M-ddle East!

Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts!
