My 4 essentials for Africa.

Here I am less than 7 hours away from leaving for our flight to africa.
I'm afraid I will forget something. But then I realized that I only need 4 things.
If I only had these 4 things. I think my trip would be the same no matter if I lost my luggage or not, or if I forgot..... my underwear... haha just kidding.
anyways. Here are my 4 essentials for my africa trip. Everything else I can go without.
of course i need my bible. And this one is small enough to fit into my camera backpack. Cool. huh!!
So here is my camera bag. You can't see 2 compartments which are holding another lens and some other random things. I sure do love my new backpack. Which my bible fits perfectly in!!

My 3rd thing that is an essential for this trip would be....
my new mp3 player. I don't like the fact that I have a mp3 player. I feel like I'm cheating on mac right now. But it was the best i could do for the money i had. I'm just blessed to have something to listen to while i'm on the plane!!
The last thing is my new shirt i just made. Sorry it's backwards i took the picture with the computer and it turns everything around.

So here it is... my 4 essentials for Africa. This is really all I need.
My Bible to spread the joy of my Savior.
My Camera to document all the faces of Africa that need our help.
My mp3 player for my sanity! and maybe even sharing some good tunes with an African.
And lastly my LOVE t-shirt.

Were hoping to have internet while we are there. I'm pretty sure we'll be able to get it at least a couple of times.
Please pray for the 5 of us (Duke, Paul, Jerrod, Mike & me) and also in a week my old pastor from oklahoma (Nick) & his daughter (Amy, who is the wife of my youth pastor growing up) will be going to kenya (just next door to uganda)
May we take each step with the Lord's guidance. And I pray our hearts and voices will be filled with His words & songs.

Lord may there be more of you and less of me!
