This will be my final update for a while, as I won't have internet available, but hope to update my blog once a month via internet cafes. So stay tuned! My class is rapidly packing and gathering things to get ready for the trip. Lots of baby wipes, hand sanitizer, batteries, sunscreen... you get the idea :)
Some awesome praise reports that we are so thankful for: We as a class were waiting for a significant amount of finances to come in and they came! Our entire team is going to Papua New Guinea! The plane flights were found to be more than what we anticipated, but those came in at a lower price which was awesome! And we got approved as aid workers and can stay the entire 96 days rather than the 30 days for a tourist! Yayyy!
My outreach team ( Team "B" or Team Brilliant) will be heading into the Western Province and staying there for a few weeks. Then we will be meeting up with Team "A" aka Team "Awesome" on the ship. We will be doing clinics both on the ship and on land. We are gathering some small items to take for the kids we meet. pencils, string for bracelets. I can't wait to meet the people! I understand they are incredibly welcoming and a very hospitable culture.
I'm currently in the midst of packing, which is quite a task and praying that my bag doesn't exceed 20 kilos...I have the biggest bag so I'm carrying my group's extra toilet paper :) Now I'm feeling the excitement of going to Papua New Guinea! I'm just expecting the unexpected... and lots of adventure!
Thanks for all your love and support!
God bless, Christina
PS: Hope to give an update blog approximately once a month via internet cafes, so stay tuned!
