(Thursday 9/9) Last night 13 of us met at Gary and Wendy's place for a meal and to talk about Chad. All were young people -34 and younger - so we are oupa and ouma in the group, especially with little Cherise running around. Some of the young people had been to Chad before, and others of us are going. Gary encouraged us to ask questions, and those who knew shared "tricks of the trade" so to speak, such as what to bring, what not to bring, and how to live in 120 degree heat combined with humidity and mud and rain.
We have applied for visas, wow, Chad sure knows how to charge for a piece of paper!
Next week we go for immunizations. Our apartment is slowly but surely being emptied. Quite a bit of the furniture has gone to people who had nothing. The Lord brings them to our door.
This is so exciting! We will be praying for you guys and are looking forward to keeping in touch through the blog. Looks like things are starting to get to the point where you will leave for Chad, but I can just imagine the kind of preparations and work that goes into a project like this. God be with you. Bless you, and keep you safe. Ronelle
