Answering a Few Questions

There seems to 4 repeated questions regarding our trip. The first is "why are we going?" I feel our first blog posting answered that fairly well, but the other 3 questions are as follows.

2) What are the kids doing for schooling? Well we are blessed to have a school that thinks this trip is one great education and has given us 100% support. There will be some math and reading, but nothing so much as to make real teachers out of their parents.

3) What are you bringing on this trip? Not much. The picture shows the backpacks each one of us will carry on the plane along with a small handbag. The reason is quit simple; we will be moving about the countries so often that we just didn't want the headache of being bogged down with stuff. It also helps we are spending the first 3 months in a hot climate; so no need for heavy cloths. In all honesty I still can't believe Cari went for this, but after all she did marry me.

4)What are you going to eat? I have to say this question cracks me up, and I am surprised this is one of the most common questions. My only answer to this one is "when we get hungry enough I guess we will eat whatever everyone else is eating".

With only 5 days from take off I am starting to compile an extensive list of my own questions. I feel God is reminding me of what he laid on my heart 3 years ago, which is to simply to go and experience life outside of my comfort zone.
