Our journey to Iquitos is becoming more and more real as it draws nearer, and we are happy to say that we finally have a departure date! After visiting family on the East Coast for two weeks, we will leave from there on August 19 and arrive in Iquitos (after two layovers and many hours in the air) on August 20--less than a month away!
In the meantime, we are paring down our belongings, wrapping up our work, and preparing to say farewell to many beloved people, places, and pets.
Thank you all for your prayers, encouragement, support, and overwhelming generosity. Your enthusiasm fuels our own, and your donations to MMN have surpassed our fundraising goal. A month from now, we'll be on the other side of the equator, and we couldn't have done it without you.
