This week was a whirlwind as I returned home from the 2:1 Conference, emptied one suitcase and packed an even bigger one to take to Tanzania. The kids have been helping me pack, taking trips with me to the store to help choose things for David {the boy we sponsor through Compassion in Tanzania}, and drawing pictures like crazy to send along with me.
The kids sat down with me and we pulled out a globe to show the different places that I will be in the next week ~ a few stops in the US, Amsterdam {for a brief pit stop}, and then Tanzania. The globe is staying out while I’m gone, along with my itinerary so they can follow along each day and see where I am. Rick also added some app to my iPad so they can track me {assuming it works!}. Should be fun to see!
When I return home, my suitcase is going to be WELL under the 50 pounds it is pushing right now. Each of the kids picked out something they thought David and his family would enjoy ~ colored pencils and crayons, Frisbees, jump ropes, bubbles, matchbox cars {dump trucks per Kaleb}, clothing, stickers…and so much more. The kids have one request of me ~ a picture of me with David…and him smiling. I’m thinking that is a do-able request!
I’ll be sharing all of my travels and thoughts this next week and hope that you will follow along with our team too! You can see a map with the centers we will be visiting in this post {and grab a button to share on your blog if you’d like to as well}. And if you’d like…you can even sponsor a child in Tanzania too! 
That’s it for us this week! What have you been doing during school time today?
