That's been the question of the week. Our departure is set for Saturday morning, July 19th at 4:30 a.m. We'll make the long road trip from Ohio to JFK Airport and expect to arrive in Monrovia on Sunday early evening.
So, are we ready? I guess when you think about the packing stuff, yeah we'll be ready. We're not a family that packs in advance or anything - but it always comes together for us and we don't usually forget anything.
But, are we ready? Hmmm... that answer is a little tougher. We travel this time with more hesitancy although its difficult to verbalize what the hesitancy is all about. Maybe the fact that Liberia is struggling with food and gas prices, just like the U.S., and many of our friends have had limited food supply and have been sick. We know there is more disparity and are trying to figure out how to live there in our "wealth" when they have so little. Or, maybe it is just that each time we travel, God changes and molds us into something new. That change and new responsibility in understanding is always hard to respond to, although we know it is for our good. So, yeah we're ready for that.
