We had our 3rd team meeting for the Macedonia Mission trip yesterday afternoon. We got a whole lot accomplished and were assigned our actual posts for when we're there. I will be working on Set Design/Decorating/Gifts with the local folks and two others from our team here at home. It turns out that the local Macedonian folks wanted just a small group of us so we have a very small team which will be great! The leader and his wife are in their 20's, there's another single woman about my age and we have 3 guys who are in their 20s. The age differences make it sort of an odd group but so far we are meshing really well. God knows what He's doing!
It turns out that our layover will be in Milan instead of Zurich now which is just fine with me. For a minute or so we thought it was going to be Paris but that flight was sold out before our travel agent could lock it in. I think Milan will be a great city to see and I can't wait to try some "real" Italian food! DaVinci's "Last Supper" is in Milan and the church where it's painted is also something to see. I've seen a replica of the painting at Forest Lawn which is a huge cemetary in California but it will be great to see the actual painting. Our travel agent will try to book us a time to see the painting.
Brrrr, the lows in Macedonia will be in the lower 20's and the highs will not be much above 40 farenheight! I brought this up to my other team members and a couple of them said they were going to need to go shopping! The weather sounds like it is pretty close to Midwest weather. We do get a few days of that here in Atlanta and we usually get a little snow and ice each year but most folks here are just not prepared for that type of weather.
Stay tuned...

Praying for your trip!
We should send you some clothes to borrow! We're sure to winter here.
This all sounds so exciting. I am happy for you! I am hoping you take a digital camera along, I would love to see pictures.
Yes Jo! I am indeed bringing a digital camera. I found a Kodak 8 megapixel camera at Target on sale for half of the original price because this year's model is now 10 megapixels! This camera rocks! The battery is rechargable and the pics are GREAT! My old camera used 4 AA batteries that would only last for a few hours at a time, it was great for eBay but not good at all for snapshots.
