Thank you

Before we head off tomorrow, I just wanted to thank all of you who have supported me so far with prayer, money, or just a word of encouragement.  But we're not done yet... if you would continue to pray for me and the 16 other members of my team while we are traveling and while we are there it would be much appreciated.  Thank you again.

Ropes Or No Ropes

Well on the 15th we got to do a team building ropes course.  WE were missing a few people but still had 14 people.  Unfortunately we had cold weather with some rain and sleet mixed in. It made for a pretty cold day.  I don't know if they thought push ups would warm us up or what but we did so many push-ups we though we had taken a wrong turn and ended up in bootcamp.  But we did trust falls and push-ups and moved tires over 10ft poles and more push-ups... but no ropes.  Oddly enough we spent a full day on a ropes course (8am-6pm) and didn't see a single rope.  Oh well.  We got to spend a day growing as a team and learning about each others strengths and weakness.  And now we have some idea what people are like with they are cold, tired, and sick of push-ups.

Money and Spain

Hola,
Well 22 more days (look I even have a little counter on the blog)!  We're getting very close to leaving and I've almost got all my money in.  I only need $390  $290 more and I'll be ready to go.  So we got our flight times in and we fly from Denver to Dallas to Madrid, Spain to Berlin, Germany.  So we will be spending a lot of time in planes and airports.  The layover in Dallas is only about 2 hours which gives us plenty of time to stretch our legs, get some food, and get to our flight.  But the layover in Madrid is almost 10 hours!  But since we get there at 9:55am and don't leave until 7:45pm we get to take a little side trip to Madrid.

Adios
