They're Off!!












Pam Defrees asked me to help her with the blog while she's on the trip since sometimes it is difficult to update from Odessa due to poor (slow) Internet connectivity. If that's the case, she'll email me and I'll then add whatever she emails to the blog, so one way or the other we should be able to keep it current.

This morning's send-off went very smooth. Baggage weigh-in in Mrs. McGilvray's classroom, some minor shuffling of stuff from one bag to another, then loading the bags onto the bus, prayer for the trip, quick trip to the airport, unloading, check-in, and that's that! All the months of planning, hard work, and prayer culminated in this beginning. What an exciting time! All those who came for the send-off who had been to Odessa on earlier trips were sad they weren't going, a testimony of how wonderful the experience is.

The team will covet our prayers.....let's just bathe this entire trip in it.

Later,

Bert Neville
