What is? The 21st May ... and to be more precise, it's the date our flights are booked to Benin! We are flying out of Gatwick at about midday, changing planes in Tripoli, and arriving in Cotonou at about 10.30pm. There is no time difference with the UK at the moment.
Under five weeks to get everything done, then! Here are just a few of the things on our to-do list:
Get our visas
Sort out Simon's antimalarials (complicated for a small child!)
Benjy's 12- and 16-week vaccinations
Finish writing our prayer letter and send it
Raise the last 20% of our monthly support
Print out our packing lists and send our crates to the shipping company
Get insurance for our shipment
Presentations at two of our partnering churches
Cook Sunday lunch for the students at our church in Bedford (not directly linked to our departure!)
And those are just the things I can remember off the top of my head. We definitely appreciate prayer to remain calm and joyful in the busy-ness!
