This will be our last post until we get to PNG. Everyone is packed, packages have arrived from all over the country and we have everything loaded. Each person is carrying 2 bags that weigh just under 50lbs. Each person is carrying about 65 lbs of supplies, gifts and material for the Conference. We will all be arriving at the Omaha Airport at noon tomorrow to leave for a 3:15 flight. Last night I skyped (using a computer microphone over the Internet) Aaron and we talked for about 20 minutes. The conference people are excited and we are looking forward to a great trip.

We have received calls and emails from people all over the country praying for this trip. It is very encouraging to see how God's people are working together to make this trip happen. We want everyone to know that the team and I are not going representing ourselves, or even our church. We are going as representatives of US Churches and letting these missionaries know that we value and support the work that they are doing.

The next time you hear from us will be in PNG. Monday morning US time. Thanks for your prayers.
