Continuing to Get Ready

We have our plane tickets to Philadelphia where our Staging will take place. We leave Kansas City at 6:00 a.m. and arrive in Philadelphia at 11:00. The staging is a time of Peace Corps orientation and team building with all of the AZ6 group. We have heard there will be 65 of us.

On 9/22 at 11:00 a.m. we load on a bus for JFK and are scheduled to fly out to Frankfurt at 9:45 p.m. The flight is 8 hours, then we will fly to Baku which is another 5 hour flight.

We went back to visit the Freeman Baptist Church on August 24. We had a wonderful time renewing friendships. It is comforting to know so many people will be praying for us, and supporting us with their concerns.

We plan to go to Hopewell on September 7 and Archie on September 14.

We have already had Thanksgiving on August 16 with Matt and Andrew. Linda fixed all the traditional Thanksgiving dishes, and we had a wonderful time. We plan celebrating Christmas on Labor Day. It was fun to go Christmas shopping in August.
