Less than 72 hours we should be in the Dominican Republic and yet so much to do. Tim is making lists in his head and Cindy is telling him it will all get done. We have been truly blessed the last couple of days both financially and with donations for things for us to take. A local medical supply store donated surgical dressings today that are valued at several 1000 dollars. We also found out this evening that we will be doing a TV interview with WETM news tomorrow evening. Our goal is that this draws attention to the people of Haiti and the outreach and mission of Nehemiah Vision Ministries.

Our plan at this time is to leave Thursday after work and spend the evening in Rochester. We need to be to the airport by 5:30 Friday morning. We would ask you to pray about our luggage. Tim spent alot of time on the phone today trying to get clarification on how much we could take and if there were exceptions because it is a medical mission. Everyone responded that they would make the exception but couldn't promise that the individuals who check us in on Friday would. We have decided that God has provided the supplies so He will make a way to get them there.

A special thanks to the guys at FLN who are doing a great job of keeping people informed of what we are doing. We know there are many people praying for us as we prepare and then as we go. A couple of specific request would be luggage. Also Tim is battling a sinus cold. Please pray for our family while we are away as it will be difficult for them. Also that God will be preparing us physically, emotionally and most of all spiritually for the work he has for us.

Thank you to all of you for your support. Tomorrow will be busy with finally packing, cleaning, paying of bills (yuck) and making sure everything is ready for a Thursday departure.

Tim and Cindy
