First Meeting!

Wednesday May 28th was our first official India Mission trip meeting. We had it at Christian School of the Desert where we discussed several details of our next India Mission trip! We have an awesome team consisting of 13 missionaries with Mr. and Mrs. Matthews leading the trip. Like before our team will be staying at the Rehoboth orphanage in Cochin, India. Our team will be working at the orphanage doing tasks anywhere from chores assigned by the staff at Rehoboth to leading evening worship and devotions. God is doing amazing work already for our team and we are very excited to see what is to come! Although our itinerary may be subject to change here is what we have so far:

• Meet at LAX on June 22nd (Sunday) at 9:00 pm
  
• Departure is on June 23rd at 12:55 am by Singapore Airlines
• Lay over in Singapore is 8.5 hours
• Arrive in Cochin at 10:15pm (India time!) on June 24th

*Reminder that luggage should not exceed 50lbs (this has changed since our last meeting) and you are allowed one carry on for change of clothes in Singapore. You can visit: http://csod-india.blogspot.com/2008/03/final-departure-reminders.html for reminders on what not to pack and what to pack.

There is a parent meeting on June 3rd at 7:00 pm in Room 11 at Christian School of the Desert. This meeting is set up to answer any questions or concerns parents may have about the trip. Our next group meeting will take place on June 13th at 3:30 pm at Natalee Gaddini's house, directions will be sent out soon. We want to plan some sort of hiking day trip before we leave for India, so be thinking of somewhere before the meeting! See you soon!
