WOW! What a whirlwind these past few weeks have been. Life has been very very very busy to say the least. I know that the Lord's peace and strength is truly the only thing that has brought me through the main moments of tears, laughter, and stress over these last moments before our trip. I have been so blessed with a team of people who love the Lord and love each other. We have enjoyed getting closer over the past week or so and have enjoyed so much laughter, I have literally left team meetings with a stomach ache because I was laughing so hard. Overall I think I can say...I'm ready to head overseas to see what is in store.
The picture above is of our airplane we will be taking to Johannesburg, South Africa. Much bigger than the one we took here (which was incredibly small and cramped). The layover has been needed because it has been a time to just sit, write some letters, enjoy each others company and get ready for our long flight ahead. I have been so overwhelmed by the support of friends and family over the past week...my friends and family (you know who you are), I am so blessed!! That is the hardest part of all of this -- leaving friends and family for a time. But I know that this experience is going to be SOOO worth it in the end.
I am going to try to update as often as possible but I don't know how often that will happen.
Hope this side of the world treats you all well!!
