OK, so we only have a few days left. We are packing or should I say Steven is packing and repacking and getting everything in the right suit case. We can only bring one suit case per person and it can only be 20 Kilograms which is about 44 pounds....so we are trying to fit everything in. This can be a large challenge since everyone really really needs all their "stuff."!!!!!!!
Here is a shot of Steven gettting things ready.
We will be boarding our bus for Lyon at 6:30am on Tuesday morning which is 9:30pm on the West coast Monday night. We head to Paris from Lyon then to Tripoli, Lybia and then our home in N'djamena, Chad. Could you be praying for our trip? We will have a long day but with all the excitement I think it will go fast.
You are all so very important to us and we will miss posting and reading your comments!!! We plan on keeping our blog going by sending some words and maybe pictures to the states and having them posted from there. My brother Ray volunteered to keep it going for us and you. Thanks Ray. There may be much longer periods of time between posts but it will happen.
We will have more to say just before we leave.

We have missed you while you've been in France. We will miss you when you get to Chad. We thank God for you whenever we think of you. We love you all and pray that God works His good and perfect will in and through you as you serve Him.
Your commitment to serve our Lord and His people is an inspiration to so many and your obedience a humbling reminder to us in our too comfortable world.
May The Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you His peace.
You are loved and in the hands of the King,
Given, Tanya, Emilee, & Ally
Ditto to what Given said. We will continue to pray for you daily and miss you like mad!
Tons of love -

Thank you so much. Your words humble us. We covet your prayers.
We have missed your friendships so much as well. We had some great times in Mount Vernon!
God is good, he strengthens all of us through eachother!!

Hey Guys!
We are so excited for you all! It has been a long time in coming but God is faithful and will guide you on your way. We wanted you guys to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and we pray that you have a safe and fun journey. Don't forget to stop and have fun along the way! Go in Peace.
Love, The Paulsons
We are very excited for you all! You are loved, missed, and prayed for here in Fergus. Have a great time serving the King on the frontlines!
Ditto on all that mushy stuff Given said! :)
We all could re-learn what snail mail is all about while you are in Chad! You'd have to send us your address though!
We have been counting down the days for you here in the Kord Kiddie Korral. We pray for you daily and are looking forward to visiting you in Chad.
I don't know about Raymond keeping your blog up though...unless he has a new committment of service with the Lord I'm not too sure we'll be seeing much! :) Being the picture fanatic and scrapbooker that I am maybe I will send you blank memory cards for your camera and you can send me your full one so I can get my fill!
Well, I miss you and love you. It will be good for you to reunite with all your earthly possessions that are a comfort to us humans. You aren't going much further away but into a drastically different culture so hang on and keep relying on God's strength.
Love, bisous, AAApril
Thanks sis,
The memory card thing sounds great! We will be waiting for the first on to arrive!! :)

love you tons,

I see the word "Africa" on your address you gave April. The one Steve sent out to several of us earlier didn't have that, and the girls letters came back with a stamp on it saying "Returned for better address". So that must be a crucial bit of info they need!!
As for keeping up their blog, it will all depend on "what & when" we get stuff from the Fludies!
Until next post,
Lisa
