Airport

We made it to the airport. We are sitting at our gate waiting for our plane to leave. Please pray for us today that God will give us strength to make it though this day. As excited as we are there is still some sadness.

Just a few more hours

I am sitting on my bed thinking that I really have much better things to be doing then updating my blog but yet here I am. Today has been HUGE! I had a super fun lunch with Nat and Mom and then it was home to work untill 3:30ish and now clean up room and pack! Heather and her mom are going to be staying here tonight so they don't have to get up so early in the morning. The plan is to leave from my house at 4 Am.

Well I need to go and finish getting ready! Thank you all for the prayers and support as we get ready to leave! It is going to be big but GOD IS BIGGER!!! It helps to know that we have the prayers of many people.

Thanks,
Bree

DONE WITH SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am OFFICIALLY DONE WITH SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!! I really did not think I was going to get done, and on top of that my computer would not let me log in to do my work. We called my teacher and he said that I was done because it was only a pass/fail class and I had already passed!!! YAY!!!!!

Heather and I only have one more day until we leave. I can't believe how fast it has come up! Today was filled with many good byes and tears. This morning in church there was an AMAZING prayer service for us. I know that remembering this day is one of the things that is going to help me get though! Praise God!!!

Pray that we get down safe! Thanks!

Update:

As far as school goes I am done with Economics and Government :) YAY!!!! I still have to get Brit Lit done BEFORE I leave!!!! Please pray that God will give me the strength to endure and get it done! For some reason Brit Lit has been very hard for me so I find it hard to stay focused. ;)

I was thinking that I really should start getting stuff ready to leave. I need to start packing so I can start worrying about how I am going to get everything packed in ONE 50lb suitcase!!! :) Ideas anyone? I am letting Heather have my second luggage spot because she has a lot more stuff to take down then me, but still it sounds like a imposable task. :) Can’t wait to see how it goes.

As the time gets closer and closer I am starting to feel worried! I know that this is what God is calling me to but it is looking very big! I know He is going to be with me ever hour of every day! THANK YOU JESUS!!!!

Looking back over the past months and seeing God work all of this out has been so AMAZING! I know that God is going to work everything out when I am in Haiti too! I just need to remind myself of that every day.

Please continue to pray for Heather and I as well as for our families!

Have a GREAT day,
Bree

WOW!

When I first found out that I was going down to Haiti I thought it was FOREVER away! Well I am quickly finding out that it is just around to corner. We leave in ONLY 19 days!! I can't believe that it is this close! Please pray for Heather and me. We are very excited but there are also things that sound scary. Also keep our families in your prayers. Just today mom was telling me that she was starting to get sad. I thought I was going to start crying. Please pray that we will have strength to face each day with a good attitude. Pray that we will be able to share Jesus with the people we meet. Please pray that I will be able to quickly learn the language and that Heather and I will both be healthy physically, spiritually and emotionally. Something else to keep in your prayers is that I will get done with school BEFORE we leave!!!!

Mom printed off our itinerary just a few minutes ago. We leave July 28, 2009 at 7:40 AM from Columbus International Airport. We will be arriving in Port Au Prince at 3:45 PM. We have one layover in Miami! Please pray for safe flights!
