3 weeks and counting...

In exactly 3 weeks from today, I will be on a plane to Rwanda. I am more than excited and can't wait for an experience that will change me forever. I am so thankful for all the prayers and support I have received from my friends and family. Sending out those letters is scary! But it has shown me that I can trust God to do what He says He will.

I am getting ready for my trip... passports, clothes, shots, etc. I hope this isn't a bad sign, but I did pass out when I had to get my shots! Luckily, my mom was there to catch me and as she says, save my life. Thanks, Mom! 

Most people are asking me if I'm nervous about my trip, and I can honestly say that I'm more excited than anything else. I can't wait to get there and see the kids and the people...everything, really! The only part I'm a little nervous about is the actual trip! 26 hours to get there, all by myself! If anyone has good travel tips, book suggestions, etc., please share with me! 

Thanks again for all your prayers and support. I feel so blessed by all of you! Continue to pray for me while I am preparing to leave...I will continue to keep you posted! 

Counting down,
