What Does God Have In Mind? (What We're Thinking - Part 6)

I actually think it's just starting to sink in to me that we're actually going! It's exciting!

Anyways, my parents, who are out for a visit... decided to support us with some sporting equipment. They bought a volleyball net, some volleyballs, and a couple basketballs as well! The net also doubles as a badminton net and there are some badminton raquets and birdies included as well I think. So that's sweet!

I've also heard that there were some frisbees and skipping ropes donated by Carmen's aunt and some of the pop bottle money was used to buy these things as well. Also sweet!

This along with quite a few soccer balls from Mrs. K and Jane we should have a fair bit of sporting goods to give them when we leave... and to play with them while we're there of course!

And after delivering letters to almost all of the sports stores in Langley (and a couple others) Sports Replay said to come with a truck and they'd donate some bikes or something. But since we really don't have room to take bikes to Mexico they said they'd find something else if we'd drop by this morning. Here's where the interesting part comes in. I was expcting like balls or maybe some cleats or something of that nature... but they gave us tarps!? I must say I was kinda like "what? tarps?" when Carmen told me that's what they had for us.. but apparently that's what they wanted to give us (there's like 25 of them apparently), and I'm curious to see how God's planning on using them... I trust He has a purpose for providing them for us. Definitely not what I was expecting, but we'll see what happens.

That's about it from me. See ya all Friday!
