Due giorni rimasto!

First of all, happy Fourth of July!
I hope that through all the fireworks, food, family, and friends you are able to appreciate the true meaning of today. If it weren't for the brave men who gave there lives 233 years ago, this nation would not be the same place.

There are only two days left! I finished packing all my major items yesterday, giving me two days to remember everything I forgot ;-) Kona and I are looking forward to kicking off our trip with these last two days of partying and hanging with family and friends, both for the Fourth, and for our last day in town!

Today, you can pray that while on this trip God will open the doors to things we never thought possible. To leave room for God to work in ways we never could fathom. That would be awesome!

Have a fantastic day!

Trois jours!

The final countdown has begun! With only three days left on the clock, Europe seems closer then ever! I am right now in the midst of packing, making money arrangements, and charging all of the electronics we will be taking!

Again, thank you to everyone for your continued support in getting Kona and I overseas. We are so ready for this trip to change our shades as we plunge into the depths of brand new cultures!

Prayer request for the day: that as the trip goes on and we begin getting tired, God will give us a fresh burst of energy every morning! The last thing we want to happen is to get tired and miss what He has in store for us!

Count them! 4 days left!

Well, we're down to the final four! Each day brings a new wave of excitement as last-minute purchases are made, and final packing gets done! I'm dedicating all tomorrow to get my bags ready! (I still need to catch up with Kona!)

Please pray that the home stay families we will be staying with the very first week of the trip are good fits and awesome people. I can't wait to spend time with locals!

Thank you all for your tremendous support! If you would like to recieved email updates as soon as we update the blog, please feel free to subscribe (look right).

Thanks!

Cinco dias!

Five days left!
Kona is done packing...I'm not even close =/ I guess it's to be expected from a girl though, right?

Getting more excited by the day!

Prayer request: That while in Europe, we will take each day as it is. No comparisons, just live in the present.

Thanks!
Colin

And on the sixth day...

One more day down! As the trip approaches, Kona and I are finding it more and more necessary to stock up on sleep and rest. All this fundraising and work is tiring!

Prayer request: that our team will mesh and completely get along. No fights, no drama; only friendship and good experiences.

Thanks!
