Ready, Set, Go!

It will be late tonight or early tomorrow morning (depending on who you ask) that we leave.
Our total group size is 31 people consisting of:
-12 Catholic students from MSU Mankato and their leader, Joe
-Nell and I from Faribault
-13 St Wence high school students from New Prague and our leader Ann
-Jimmy and PJ- our other two adults for the New Prague group who live in Nashville

The MSU group will head out at 1:30am from Mankato to park and use the light rail system to get to the airport. The New Prague group will leave St. Wence at 3:30am. All together we should meet up at the airport at 4:30am for a check in of the 6:30am flight. This flight will take us to Atlanta where we have a huge layover and meet up with our Nashville leaders. We are scheduled to arrive in Guatemala City at 9pm. We will be staying in Guatemala City for the night but ever so briefly. Our ride to San Lucas Toliman leaves the hotel at 6:00am!

Please keep the group in your prayers as we travel.

Our theme for the trip is: Give me your heart, my God! and our theme song is "Enseñame a Amar"

 Oh Senor dame mas

de tu amor y verdad

Oh Senor dame mas
de tu poder y gracia
Mi Dios

Enseñame a amar
Enseñame a ser como Tu
Dame Tu corazon, Mi Dios

which says:
O Lord give me more of your love and truth. O Lord, give me more of your power and grace, O God. Teach me to love. Teach me to be like you. Give me your heart, my God.

Here is a video of it.

Prayers that our hearts will be open to what God has in store for each of us on this 10 day adventure to be with our brother and sisters in Christ in San Lucas.

Hopefully in Atlanta we will be able to give an update. Andrea
