This is a special guest post from Cara – the first that she has ever written for this blog!) 

Hi Everyone,

I just want to say thank you all so much for praying.  I am totally excited and ready for whatever may come my way – even the long boring plane trip.  Here is a copy of my “fight boredom” plan.

1. Read SkyMall
2. Do a 3-D puzzle of the world
3. Learn French
4. Enjoy a free beverage
5. Write some song lyrics
6. Read exciting travel book
7. Go to the bathroom (repeat as necessary)
8. Play Solitaire
9. Calculate how much more time I have to spend on this plane
10. Advil PM

And that is just the first hour… ha ahah

Anyway, thanks so much to all those who gave clothes and a suitcase to the kids in Cameroon. Johanna, Stephanie, Vanessa, Deirdre, Jodi, Mary and Beth you guys are great. The clothes were the exact right amount to fit into the duffle bag. I hope to get some pics of the kids wearing them, if possible.

I am also bringing Melissa’s camera and am going to try to get some video of the villages, people, and sights I will be seeing, along with the work that we will be doing there. 

Moe, Jay, Mom, Jess, Barry, Melissa, Kim and Chris, thanks for all you gave and did to help me prepare for the trip. 

See you when I get back!
