Anyway, we're on to the last leg of our journey now. We're leaving Mary Ann's house in Cary, NC and heading to Heidi's cousin Gib's house in Birmingham, AL. Then on to Houston and back to Guatemala. Heidi and Isaac fly out on Friday. Matt hopes to leave on Sunday.
We'll need lots of prayer coverage as we separate for the first time in Isaac's life. We'll likely be apart for the longest EVER so far in our relationship - about a week. Yes, separation can be healthy, but we've grown awfully accustomed to being together - and we really help each other a lot with Isaac. Plus, Matt will be driving through a country where the whole system is designed to trip you up, cause you problems, and cost you money. Prayer coverage just makes things go smoother.
We got word from Guatemala that Jake knocked our little TV off the table and broke it when he was accidently locked in the house. If that's the worst thing that happened while we were gone, we're very thankful for that. It's an excuse to upgrade the 13" TV. Why we'd want to upgrade we're not sure - it's only hooked up to a DVD player - but we're Americans and that's what we do. Maybe they make a 14" TV!
Here's a picture of Isaac at his first Tarheels game. It was a nearly 40 point win over Valpo. We went to a 40 point win at Michigan State, too, but we were Isaac-less that night, remember? A pic might have been nice, but a night out was nicer!

Be sure to label the photo with ISSAC's name...don't want anyone
years from now to wonder...."Just who was Carolina? A long-lost relative? And why was she so bald?"

Travel safely. Our thoughts and prayers are always with you all.
A Blessed New Year to you and everyone at Agape in Action!! May this be a special year in your mission.
I still have photos of the three of you in your Spartan gear. We need to keep the score even.
Love and hugs,
Mom and Dad
Being the basketball fan that I am.... I did have to check out to see how his first Tarheel game went. Looks like there might be some basketball in his future! Carolina blue is a great color! Hope that the trip back goes smooth - they always do, don't worry. And Matt, if you didn't hear the horror stories of traveling though Mexico, I'm sure you'd be saying it's a peace of cake.
Prayers,
Adrienne Orris
