Preparation

Preparation time can be sometimes the hardest part of any project.  We have preparation on many fronts:
1.  family stuff to bring
2.  equipment for the clinic
3.  getting visas, international driver's licenses
4.  finding equipment for the operating room
5.  making arrangements for those who are visiting during our time there
6.  Preparing our home for someone to live in while we are gone

So preparation is a necessary part of going.  We are blessed to have time to prepare and time to think about what will be important for taking a family to experience service among a different culture.

Pray for us in our preparation time that we can be focused and purposeful with our time and thoughts.
