What Are We Thinking

The idea of taking our family on this adventure started with a desire almost 3 years ago to see, and to some degree feel, how other people go about their lives around the world. We have the hope of gaining a greater understanding of the world; the people in it and our place and responsibility to it. This idea has had its share of road blocks. After some initial problems to overcome, mostly concerning work and school the doors to what looks like an amazing adventure have been opened. In the past our family has been fortunate to participate in short term mission trips to various countries, but always felt we were only dipping our toes in the water. Our hope during the next 4 months is to dive in deeper and to come back with perspective greater than the one we left with.So.....we are diving in, the backpacks are bought and almost stuffed, countless hours have been spent on the internet, a small fortune has been spent in immunizations and medicines and off we go........26 days and counting....
