In about 12 and a half hours I'll be heading to the airport, so before I pack my laptop I wanted to leave one last word.

So many of you have sent e-mails or called to say that you are praying for me and the India mission team. This truly means so much to me, because I know that the Enemy will do everything he can to thwart our efforts. He will attempt to frustrate our travel, our health and certainly our attitudes. So I truly do hope that we will be bathed in your prayers.

There are so many unknowns about this trip. I don't have an itenerary that I can post. We are basically just going to be there at the pleasure of our host church, and can be called upon at any time to do virtually anything. So please check in often as I'll try to keep you updated on our daily happenings.

As for tomorrow, our flight leaves Nashville at 1:00 headed to Dulles International in Washington, D.C. (Thank God we're not going through Chicago!!) We are supposed to arrive there at 3:52 Eastern time. Then we will leave around 5:30 p.m. Eastern headed to Frankfurt, Germany. We should arrive there at 7:10 a.m. local time, Tuesday, which is 12:10 a.m. here in Nashville. We'll leave there at 11:20 a.m. (4:20 a.m. here) headed for Hyderabad, India. We should arrive there at 12:25 a.m. local time, Wednesday, which is around 1:00 p.m. here on Tuesday. Is that confusing enough? :)

So whenever you think about us, please just pray for safe travel. I've seen way too many stories this past week about pilots falling asleep at the wheel and landing gear not working, etc. Are there always this many airplane stories? I know, the Enemy.

Bradley told me the other day how proud he was of me for being a missionary. I can't tell you how that made me feel. I pray that I will live up to his expectations. But more importantly, I pray that God will be able to teach me whatever it is that wanted me to learn by sending me on this trip. And that it will all be to His glory.
