Logistical Items and another update

I was thinking today at church, next week we will be at Port-Au-Prince Fellowship worshiping with the Haitian people! So cool! First the logistical items...

We are meeting at the airport AT 6:30. We have to wait for everyone to get there before checking in. OU BESWE LI LI (you need to read this, i just love using the phrase li li haha): If you are NOT coming to the packing meeting it would REALLY help us if you could get your packed bins before Friday. Otherwise, Alicia and I will have to pick them up in our truck, and we'd just rather spread this out over everyone. Please also make sure your ride to the airport can fit your bins in their vehicle :) Please bring ALL liquids you will need to pack to the packing meeting on Tuesday, or get them to us before then. Also if you feel like you are going to have any extra room in your carryons, let us know so we can stuff it full for you with donations :) I wouldn't pack a pillow if possible also, pack a pillow case and stuff your clothes with it to use as a pillow... Also, I highly recommend those bags that you can press all the air out of... those things will work wonders and make sure to take everything out of the boxes they are in because boxes take up so much room. Don't forget these tips: http://www.videojug.com/interview/packing-donts-2#what-are-the-biggest-mistakes-people-make-when-packinghttp://www.videojug.com/interview/packing-donts-2

8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10and find out what pleases the Lord. 11Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, 14for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." 15Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. 18Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. 19Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, 20always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8Nan tan lontan, nou te nan fènwa. Men koulye a, paske n'ap viv ansanm nan Seyè a, nou nan limyè. Se sa ki fè, fòk nou mennen tèt nou tankou moun k'ap viv nan limyè a. 9Paske, limyè a fè moun fè bagay ki bon, bagay ki dwat ak bagay ki vre. 10Chache konnen sa k'ap fè Seyè a plezi. 11Nou pa gen anyen pou nou wè ak moun k'ap viv nan fènwa, moun k'ap fè bagay ki p'ap rapòte anyen. Okontrè, denonse yo pou sa yo ye. 12Bagay moun sa yo ap fè an kachèt, se yon wont menm pou pale sou sa. 13Men, lè ou mete tout bagay sa yo aklè nan limyè, lèzòm va wè sa yo ye tout bon. 14Paske, tout bagay ki parèt aklè tounen limyè. Se poutèt sa yo di: Leve non, ou menm k'ap dòmi an, leve soti nan mitan mò yo. Kris la va klere ou. 15Se sa ki fè, konnen ki jan pou n' mennen tèt nou! Pa mennen tèt nou tankou moun ki sòt, men tankou moun ki gen konprann. 16Pa kite okenn okazyon pase pou fè sa ki byen. Paske, jou sa yo n'ap viv la a pa bon menm. 17Se poutèt sa, pran tèt nou byen, chache konnen sa Seyè a vle nou fè. 18Pa soule tèt nou ak diven, sa ka mennen nou nan debòch. Okontrè, plen kè nou ak Sentespri. 19Lè n'ap pale yonn ak lòt, sèvi ak pawòl ki nan sòm yo, nan kantik yo, ak nan chante Lespri Bondye a moutre nou. Chante kantik ak sòm pou Seyè a lè n'ap fè lwanj li ak tout kè nou. 20Nan non Seyè nou an, Jezikri, se tout tan pou n'ap di Bondye Papa a mèsi pou tout bagay.
Ephesians 5:8-20
