We need prayer for:
-Safe travel- We will be on many planes and have some long flights. We will also be flying on some very small planes.

-Health- We will be in some interesting areas, and eating interesting foods. We are excited, but can use prayers to make sure we are healthy because we do not have many days there, and we want to utilize all our time.

-Preparing Hearts- Pray that our hearts, and the hearts of those we will meet, are prepared for what God has in store for us.

-Family/friends at home- Although I am the only one in the group who does not have children, I do have a large family who will worry like crazy!
