Team B leaves tomorrow

Tomorrow, Team B (Catherine, Bonnie, Sarah, Mike, Ella, Chloe, Judy and Tom) leaves for Senegal.  We have been trading notes all week with questions, suggestions, pleas for space/weight in bags, and encouragement.  Each of us has one or two bags each with 50 lbs of supplies for ministry, plus a carry-on with clothing for the week.  Catherine has been sending her email in French.  Deb is traveling separately and arrives sooner than Team B does.  We are all excited to see old friends and make new ones in Senegal.  The travel is going to be lengthy, about 20 clock hours, due to a long lay-over in New York.  We will arrive Sunday morning in Dakar and very likely go directly to church service after clearing customs.  I hope that Team B will get some sleep on the plane.
