Venezuela on the red-eye. We'll be there for a week. Tim will be
staying home with the kids. That'll be a new experience for all of
us. He and I have gone on trips together without the kids, and he's
travelled a lot with me and the kids, but we've never done it this way
before. It's nice not to have to worry about an elaborate babysitting
plan AND not to have to worry about packing for the kids.
The main goal of the trip is for me to check things out there and see
if it really seems like it could be a fit for our family. We won't be
trying to make any decisions from this trip. If it seems like it
really wouldn't work for our family, we could decide to drop the
question after this trip, but assuming we're still interested, we'll
have quite a few more steps before we make a final decision. Another
big step will be that Tim will go in late April, and then there will
be lots of prayer and discussions between Sojourners, InnerCHANGE and
us. I'm hoping to decide by the end of the summer, but we'll see . . .
You can be praying for Hannah and me on this trip. The main thing to
pray about, other than the obvious, is that on the 15th (the day we
fly home) Chavez, the president of Venezuela, will be having a
referendum, where I think basically he's trying to change the
constitution to allow presidents to stay in office for an unlimited
number of terms. Needless to say, the whole country isn't on board
with this idea, so it could possibly get ugly.
