March 3rd is the Day!

RaVae here...still convincing/teaching Glen and Linda how to do this. They are leaving March 3rd. That is one week and two days! Yikes!
They have so much to do before they leave. They are still gathering items to be packed and taken with them. There are several groups collecting items to go to Haiti. If you are interested there is a box at Bethel Baptist Church in Greeley. Please do NOT donate food or clothes. Haiti has been inundated with food and clothes. They are still in need of tents. If you can donate a LIGHTWEIGHT tent for Glen and Linda to take it would be much appreciated. They will also take LIGHTWEIGHT tarps if a lightweight tent is out of the question.
Yes, they have found someone for their house! He is a friend of a friend's cousin...or something like that! :) Anyway, he is a great guy who has been living in a camper-trailer in LaSalle for quite some time. I have yet to meet him, but both Glen and Linda speak highly of him and enjoy him greatly.
They got a flight directly to Port Au Prince from Fort Lauderdale, FL. So when they arrive in Haiti it won't take nearly as long to get to the compound.

Prayer requests:
1) Please pray that Glen and Linda will be able to get their taxes done before they leave. The accountant called a few days ago asking for more paperwork. Linda is planning on taking it to them on Friday.
2) Please pray God will bless their TIME. They have so much to do before they leave and they need to leave well-rested so they can jump right in when they get there. They need to sort through all of the donations and pack them as well as finish packing their personal items.
3) Please pray that God will go before them and prepare their way ahead of them. This includes safe travels and a place to lay their heads when they arrive!
4) Please pray for those gathered around them during the next week and two days. That we will be encouraging and help make this transition easier for them rather than harder.


Many Blessings!
