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!
