LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!!

We leave for Mexico in 13 days!!! I cant believe how fast it has come up!! Its almost surreal that we will actually be leaving so soon! Tomorrow morning our team will be commissioned during the 9:00am service at church. After the service we have lots to do! We will be packing duffel bags filled with tools, blankets, and supplies for VBS. Then we have a final meeting to discuss final plans and a cookout for the team and the parents. It should be a fun day and I think it will really help us focus on the fact that the trip is just about here! Prayers are very much appreciated as we make final preparations. Specifically that God would prepare us mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually for this trip, and that He would prepare those whom we will serve.
*Pray Ephesians 6:10-19 for us before and during our trip, that we may be equipped and ready for each day!
"¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹ Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. ¹² For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ¹³ Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵ and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷ Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. ¹⁹ Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel."
