Well, I leave for Haiti to build a home with Christian Light Foundation in two weeks and I can't seem to locate my passport. I've decided to hold of on panic-mode until sundown tomorrow. Instead, I choose to feel satisfied that I've gotten my pre-trip shots (three of them, ouch!) and picked up my anti-malarial drugs and just-in-case antibiotocs.
When it comes to this trip, I vacillate between excitement, fear and disbelief. I am certain that I cannot fully prepare myself for the experience, but I deeply hope that I will be able to make some kind of difference and I am excited to meet the other trip participants.
The home-front logistics seem to be falling into place nicely and I owe unyielding thanks and gratitude to my friends and family who have offered support, encouragement and kind words to me. Were it not for my great friend Beth and her amazing parents, I would be spending as much time worrying about my sweet pooch Frank as I am about preparing to actually head off to Haiti for two weeks. Beth's folks have offered to take the Frankster in and love him as their own while I am away!
And were it not for my parents and my siblings, I just don't think I could have moved forward with the trip at all. I am so grateful for the love and support that my family provides.
The plan for the rest of the weekend is to track down my passport, find cheap or free luggage, purchase pharmacy, first-aid, and toiletry supplies and finalize my packing list. I am also heading to Beth's parents' house tomorrow to do a meet-and-greet with Frank (let's hope that goes well!!!)
Let's pray that my next post begins by announcing that I have located my passport :)
