Hey everyone,
We're about ready to go! Be sure to keep it here in these last days! We'll put last minute items on the blog, plus this will be a great spot to reflect on our time after our Mission X trip is over.
Thanks to Ellie Pollack for all the pictures. Ang, Alli and I ran into Ellie tonight at WalMart - she had her camera, so we had our picture taken by the sunsreen display! How appropriate! Don't forget to bring plenty...and - be keeping up with your e-mails this week.
Friday morning - 9 AM - at OIA...Bahamas here we come...

T-minus 8 days...
Team members,
Are you ready to take off on our Bahamas adventure? It is almost here. Last night, I sent out to all team members a detailed schedule showing what we will be doing during each daypart of our mission. Also included is a list of important bits of information.
Be sure to note the pictures to the right sent in by Ellie, one of our team members. We certainly have a beautiful mission field awaiting us...
Cedric said that Nassau has been receiving a LOT of rain lately, so taking a rain poncho would be a good idea. Hopefully, that level of unusual rain will end by the time we get there.
You'll also want to bring paint clothes! Don't forget to pack garden gloves and safety goggles. We'll be serving by doing a lot of painting and clean up.
IMPORTANT FOR TEAM MEMBERS We've moved our orientation meeting up an hour - meet at the Bahamasair at 9 AM on Friday, departure day! Once we are all together and accounted for, we'll move on to our gate, grab coffee or food, and then we will have an important meeting.
See you soon - write me with any questions!

NEW PASSPORT INFO!
Hey everyone,
I have sent out an important e-mail to all team members outlining some GREAT NEWS...be sure to read it. Bottom line for those without passports - the Bahamian Government is following similar guidelines for entry as is the US Immigration Department. READ THAT E-MAIL CAREFULLY!
Also, please know that a post on this blog and an e-mail will e sent out this week, outlining details of our daily schedule while in the Bahamas.
Finally - plan on arrving at the Bahamasair counter inside the Orlando International Airport NO LATER THAN 10 AM on departure day - June 29! We will rendezvous at the counter, then have a meeting before the trip. Please allow time for security checks!
Thanks...be sure to comment on all posts!
See you soon.

Hello from Mike G...and important PASSPORT info...
Hi everyone,
I hope you are all doing well. Just two and a half weeks to go! We are very excited to take part in this adventure.
The Mission X trip to Haiti ends tonight - our team members are already preparing to leave...they will be arriving at about 7:30 tonight. Thanks for praying for them.
Our departure date is only 18 days away. It is important that all details be taken care of - Lisa still needs some information from some of our team members...and if you don't have a passport yet, that is getting to be a concern! In just 4 days, we will come to the two-week-til-departure date. If you don't have your passprot by Friday, you'll need to contact the State Department. I sent out a detailed e-mail to each member today, so be sure to read it carefully!
Here is a challenge to each - I'd love to hear your previous experiences on Mission X trips - add them as a comment!
Take care.
