Notebooks and Tickets

Just wanted you to know that I appreciated the time spent with the team last night. Seems like we took giant steps last night giving out notebooks and giving the times for our flights (Can you believe we are only 2 months away?)

Here are several things that I wanted to give you so that you have info.

1. Classroom preparation The notebooks give you resources but you still have to develop lessons and decide on activities you will use. Don't let the trip sneak up on you. Begin to review the info and make some choices about what you want to teach and how now. That wil lgive you time to look for supplies if needed and other things to make hte lessons more enjoyable to you and the students.

2. Flight Schedule Please communicate with your families the following
a. We leave Wendesday June 28th at 9:55 AM from Lambert in St Louis.
b. If you are riding with us from Cape you will need to be at the BSU at 5:45 AM
c. If you are meeting us at Lambert let me know that and plan to be there by 8:15 AM
d. We fly out on Norhtwest Airlines Flight # 1600
e. We return on July 18th at 3:54 PM NW Flight # 1679

3. Next meeting Saturday 1 PM at China Palace on Broadway across from Sonic.
We will be eating with chop sticks (Quaids) and learning from John about Chinese customs.
This will be a time of fellowship and laughter so everyone be there if at all possible.

4. Prayer Please remember the following
a. Connections in Beijing I am grateful for Doris! She is incredible!
b. Open doors into people's hearts. We have open doors into their lives but the heart is
only something God can open.
c. For our team. Everyone has uncertain moments about what will happen so we know
how to prayer for each other. So life each other up.

Take a moment to post comments on the blog either as responses or separate posts. This is a great way for us to share hearts and encourage each other.
