Once again the bags line the floor as final items find a place before heading out the door.
Shopping occurred in the last couple weeks both on-line and in person as we prepare to head to Guyana to visit our friend and teammate Angie to celebrate a ministry Christmas party.
This trip feels very different than past trips for a couple of reasons.
One, the overseas time is much shorter between airplane rides!
Second while we visited new countries in the past couple years, it wasn't to visit the ministry of a friend.
What about eSwatini you may ask....well we had met our GP teammates however we' hadn't spent significant time with them prior to the trip as we have with Angie over the years at area retreats.
Our area is Carib-Atlantic and consists of the non-Hispanic countries with Wesleyan Missionaries in the Caribbean and South America.
So Angie joined the Haiti team along with other missionaries in the past working in the area when we enjoyed retreats in Haiti.
Then the retreats moved to the USA and combined with other GP areas.
We enjoy getting to know other GP missionaries.
Just this past Saturday some of the GP teens were able to connect on-line and play some games together even though their physical locations spanned the globe.
For a couple days we'll head with her and Greg, our area director, across the boarder to visit the work in Surname.
Then heading back we will overnight in Chicago so we can return to the airport to pick up Anna, returning from her term in London.
Anna completed her first final today. Other finals will occur on Tuesday, Thursday and Monday, December 11th.
