Here is a little tid-bit to read:

This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I am the worst of them all. But God had mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of his great patience with even the worst sinners. Then others will realize that they, too, can believe in him and receive eternal life. 1 Timothy 1:15-16

This is one of the mindsets I'm keeping before and during the trip. Sometimes my pride gets in the way and I think that I am somehow better. but God puts me back in my place :)

I really can't wait to meet up with everyone. I still need to find a backpack. Any ideas?
