Please pray that this weather pattern continues for the rest of this week and into next.<\/p>\n<p>Some have written asking about the load we&#8217;ll be carrying into the village. We&#8217;ll each have a backpack. Our supplies will come on the plane early next week. <span class=\"redText\">Pray that conditions will be ok for that to happen.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\nIf the mountain truck leaves on schedule, we&#8217;ll be heading inland at 6am Friday morning. Barring any breakdowns, we should start hiking about 2 hours later.<\/p>\n<p>The villagers are not expecting us and we&#8217;re wondering what we&#8217;ll find when we arrive. That makes us think about ourselves and the imminent return of Christ.&nbsp; <span class=\"redText\">Will He find us faithful when He returns?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>An email came from Justin and Nicole this morning. They are at ABWE candidate class this week as part of their preparation for heading to the mission field.
