One week to go!

Here's an e-mail from Rebekah Bell- the eldest of the Bell kids (our age)- who has had a significant role in organizing the details of this trip. John tells us she will also be responsible for transporting us to our respective ministry locations, and will most likely be serving alongside of us amid her other various church and family responsibilities.

Hey you two!

Greetings from the most amazing country in the world (with a few problems but still the greatest!)

8 days til you fly! I'm excited. I know you guys must be as well! I just wanted to write and let you know that we're thinking of you! You must be really busy with preparing for Zim amid exams and everything but if you have any questions, concerns or anything just write and let me know. I can't check my yahoo address often so this one is safer!

I'm meeting with Pastor Asafa on Tues to finalise the calendar for you - yay! Things are coming together and looking really exciting. I'll send you details after the Tues meeting.

Take care!!
Lots of love and excitement! :)

Beks
