Only 12 days to go, and of course, like in all things youth ministry, we are going to have a few snags in the road. (JK) Truthfully, the WYD itinerary was supposed to be mailed out the week of the 16th thru the 21st of June, and it is now the 30th with no itinerary in hand. (Erich and I have called Australia and they confirmed that we were registered and paid in full, so we aren't sure what is going on.) We will call again tonight and see if we can get this straightened out.
Speaking of getting things straightened out, last Tuesday I received an email from our travel agent advising us that our flight times had changed. Our Quantas flight into Melbourne is still the same, but our domestic flights have all been moved up. I retyped the 'parent pages' and was able to give the WYD team the updated info at the meeting that night. (It really didn't change to much, just a half an hour here and there.) Because of this, Father John will now be doing the Blessing and Sending Forth at 9am instead of 9:30. (This gives us a little extra time to get to the airport before our 1:09 first flight.) We sincerely hope that if you are in the area, you will come and join us!
Mr. David Eck, the editor of the Catholic Telegraph newspaper, called and interviewed a few of us over the phone for an article that they are doing for the July 4th edition of their paper. It was fun to review our three year journey and talk about what we are looking forward to. Sometimes it is nice to sit back in the thick of the journey and take stock of where you have been. I am so grateful to everyone who has helped us be able to go. This is truly a trip of a lifetime, and we are very excited!
Please continue to keep us in your prayers for a safe, happy, and Holy trip to Australia! Till the next post, God's Blessings on Your Day!!!
