Hola! Ray speaking here. I have been elected as the official “blogmaster”! I just made that title up, but I REALLY like the ring of it. In reality, the team leadership knew I couldn’t handle logistics, was pretty sure I couldn’t frame a photo and certainly wasn’t going to trust me with the money, so here I am - blogmaster. So.... as blogmaster, let me tell you how I think this is going to work. We will be on our trek for six days. Hopefully I, or one of our other peeps (I like to refer to them as NON-blogmasters), will blog each day. Some days the blog entries might be very big with lots of content (we’ll call these Megablogs) and other days they might just be quick little entries to let you know we are still around (bloglets). Whatever they are, we hope you will find them Entertaining, Enlightening and Encouraging - when I went to blogging school, they taught me to always use these three E’s of blogging.
Well we are at T minus 4 days and counting until we leave on our Cuba adventure. Our team has met together on several occasions to get to know each other better, come to understand the purpose(s) of our visit and to get familiarized with some of the logistics. We are now all ready to go and all that is left to do is pack our underwear and electric tooth brushes and make our way to the aeropuerto (hopefully I won’t scare you away with my heady command of Spanish).
But on the serious side, to all who are taking the time to read this, we love and appreciate you and we ask that you keep our group in your prayers. Here are some things you could specifically pray for. 1- That God would be honored by this trip - that we would represent Him well and that people we meet would sense God’s love through us. 2 - That the lives of those we interact with and the lives of our team would be drawn closer to Christ and to each other through this trip and 3 - that distractions and roadblocks during our trip would be minimal and our travels would culminate in safe return to our families.
We are glad you are joining in with us. Talk to you soon. Adios!
