9 Days


Last night Alex and I went for our last visit to the Burmese ministry.  It has been so cool over the past 18 months to see Alex take on that ministry as his own and I was just his source of transportation (or Hannah when she was here).  This was not a ministry that mom did and Alex tagged along, this was a ministry that Alex did and mom tagged along.  So cool!

But I digress..... 9 days until we leave.  On the way to the Burmese ministry last night Alex and I discussed this was our last time and it hit both of us, these goodbyes are for real now.  We've been saying goodbye for the past month, but they were only temporary because we knew there was a good chance we would see everyone again.  But we have turned that corner.

Our goodbyes now are for real.  Last night was the beginning of lasts.  On today's agenda of lasts...

  • Scott meets with his accountability partner for breakfast for the last time
  • Cindy is going to lunch with a church friend (she'll see on Sunday) for their last face to face, heart to heart lunch (at the cafeteria - she is the only friend that will eat with her there)
Lots and lots of logistics left to handle, but now the "lasts" are creeping their way into the list as well.  What a journey this is!
