Packing Party!

And it indeed was a party! Emily turned 15 today! As a result we all got to eat this very yummy cake! We all enjoyed it very much, after spending 2-3 hours packing and stuffing bags.

The day started off by praying, and then went full force into checking our personal bags and weighing them! Which were already packed and inventoried, but needed to be "inspected".

The hardest part came next, packing the ministry supply bags. We filled 12 big suitcases with all sorts of supples. There was a bag for everything, Drama, Preschool, Teens, and days corresponding for each lesson taught that day.

After every single bag was packed and weighed and accounted for, we locked 'em up. The rest of the time was spend eating Emily's birthday cake and taking about things that still needed to be done.

Overall, we got alot of things accoplished and finished an hour before planned. God is good.
