Twenty days and counting!!

So here we are! Twenty days out from when we leave on our mission trip to Beijing/Fushun, China! I am going to start counting down...although not every day! I am getting excited and NOW, feel the need to pack, except for the fact that our house is currently and will be filled with family over the next three nights. My husband's family retreated to our area this week to escape the rain and floods around the Ft. Worth area. So that added six people. They will head home Friday after visiting some other family in the area. Then Friday afternoon, my parents and grandpa will come spend the night with us, just to visit. Mom is bringing some things for the mission trip early because she knows how I like to pack way in advance. A neighbor of theirs works at an orthodontist and they donated toothbrushes and toothpaste for the orphans. They also put us on their office prayer list which means so much to us! After all of our company goes home and things get somewhat back to normal, I will start preparing and packing next week. We have another conference call with our group on Sunday night so hopefully we will find out some new info! Keep praying!
