Less than 36 hours to go...

In 36 hours, God willing, I'll be in the air on my way to Houston...I have a little over an hour layover there (with no clearance of customs necessary, which means that shouldn't be a problem provided planes are on time) and then on to Tegucigalpa.  Yesterday my parents had an open house for me, which was fun.  I enjoyed talking with friends and family who stopped by.  Today I mostly got the rest of my to-do list taken care of.  I still need to finish packing my last bag, I want to get some pictures printed so I can take a photo album down there, and I should probably finish cleaning my room.  Otherwise, I think I'm in good shape to go down there.  I'm sure when I'm there for a day I'll realize 5 or 6 things that I missed or didn't get done...but that's just life. 

It's weird thinking that my time here is so limited.  I have 1 more night to sleep in my bed (I'm leaving for the airport at 2:30 in the morning, so I won't be sleeping much if at all tomorrow night), I went to school today for the last time in a long time, I went to my church for the last time (until December) yesterday.  Soon I won't be driving (I won't have a license down there...but that's okay, because saying the school is within walking distance makes it sound farther away than it actually is), I won't have phone access (at least until I get a cell phone down there), and things are going to be very different. 

Intellectually, I know all of these things, but I don't think it's going to feel very real until I'm actually on the plane...potentially until I'm actually at Rancho Ebenezer. 

Prayer Requests -
- Safety in travel
- No issues with customs
- Finishing last minute details
- Start building good relationships
