The Countdown Begins!

It is less than two weeks away from the mission trip. Our English lessons materials are really taking a life of their own. So many ideas are flying around. I wonder if we will be able to fit it all in. We have been gathering all our craft items to see what we still need. Stick on gems and air dry clay would be great.

Thanks to the many people who have donated pillowcases. We now have all we need. Diane went out and got the spray tie-dye kits, Cathie rounded up a lot of Beanie Babies for prizes, Pam went out and bought the fleece for the pillows and I found more puzzles for the picture frames. Life is good.

I was blown away by a preview of a song that Randy prepared especially for our trip. He played it for us at the meeting. He is so talented! I can't wait to hear the rest of the songs. We are truly blessed to have him on the team.

Cathie and Emma are leaving for London this week. Pray for safe travels for them. They will then meet us in Poland for the mission trip. Pray for Randy too...he will be surrounded by women!

I heard a good homily from Fr. Pat from St. Thomas the Apostle. He said we should go out and evangelize not only in our own country but also to the world. Today is Pentecost Sunday. I hope the Holy Spirit will shine down with tongues of fire above our heads so we can not only teach the English language, but be able to spread Jesus' good news.
