I love that song.  When I sing it in my head, I've got some awesome Olivia Newton-John twang going on.  It makes me think of warm summer nights with crickets chirping and bonfires.  Even as I think of our time in Africa, I picture warm nights with djembes beating in the distance.

 

Wrong.

 

For the first few weeks, our nights will be COLD.  Yes, COLD.  Not just cool, but COLD.  I know this may mess with your packing plans, but trust me when I tell you that you are going to want to bring layers to wear and to sleep in.  You may also benefit from bringing a winter cap and a pair of mittens.  At some points, we will be at a high elevation (on the side of an inactive volcano, to be exact) and our summer nights will be different that you might expect!

 

Take a little time to check over your packing an adjust accordingly!  By the way, if you are feeling really upset with this news, pray a little and remember that God will be there with us!  We have a big adventure ahead of us and that may mean being flexible as we go!!!

 

Can't wait!
