All day I haven't been able to control my heart rate. When I start to think about leaving on Monday morning I just go a little nutty inside. At first, I thought that it was because I am nervous about getting everything done, etc. But, that's not it at all -- tonight I realized that it is pure excitement. I am excited about what will happen to me, and even more excited to watch people who have never been on a mission trip of any kind get their lives flipped upside down. This is going to be fun -- oh yes people, this is going to be REALLY fun.
I was at dinner with my GO Group (the group that I'll be traveling with) tonight. I really understand what the scriptures say about rejoicing when others rejoice -- I just couldn't help but feel crazy excited for all of them, even more than myself.
I can't believe that I get to watch people's lives change as part of my job!
A few things to pray for:
The two 14 year olds in our group going with their moms. Moms say both of them need to feel what it is like to care about something outside of themselves. Don't we all?
As of today 17 people going on the trip do not have passports -- yikes -- hope those come soon.
That we remember all we need to pack and do before leaving.

Hey Rachel!
I'm so excited for you guys.
Hey - some people have told me that if you call your local congressman's office they can expedite your passports. Much easier that waiting on hold at the Passport agency.
You are on the plane right now! YIPPEEEE!
Rachel, I think that excitement was the Holy Ghost inside you! He's stoked about your trip! :)
Rachel and Boyfriend,

Grandma Helen
