We depart for China and the Philippines in nine days, and we wanted to give you an idea of team we'll be traveling with. Starting with the picture on the top is Jon in the foreground (Canada), myself, Laura in the middle (from Mexico), Yohan on the right (Los Angeles), Julia on the left (Canada), Lauren, Jon in the middle (Seattle), and our leader Eric (Fort Collins, Colorado). Overall, we have a great group and we're excited to work with kids, people on the street, teach English, participate in construction projects, and much more that we'll find out when we arrive!
As we stated in our last e-mail, we cannot provide much information on where we're going beforehand, and will not be able to update the blog for the month April, when we'll be in China. We will send out an e-mail when we update the blog in the beginning of May. We'll try to do one final entry before we leave on March 30.
Aside from all of that, we've been learning a lot about God, ourselves, and how we want to make a difference in the world. Having 73 days (and counting) to spend together has brought a bond our relationship deeper than we have ever experienced. And in the midst of all of it, a desire is growing in our hearts to return and see all of you!
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we make our final preparations over the next 9 days. For those of you who have been supporting us financially, we did receive the rest of the money we needed for outreach!
- Lauren and Jake
