Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey!!!

So I made it to Florida. My first day here I made a trip to the doctors and now I am immune to Typhoid and Polio--Thank you Jesus! I've been meeting new people and trying to charm them--I think it is going well :)

I wanted to give you an updated version of my tentative flight plans:

Sunday September 2nd we are dropped off at the airport at 6:30am. We fly to Atlanta to hop on the plane that will take us to Africa. The 2nd flight is 18 hours long!!! We land in Johannesburg somewhere around 4:30 pm on the 3rd of September.

I don't know how often I will be able to update. I have asked if we can receive mail and they are pretty sure once we get to Africa we will have a mailing address to be reached at. I will let you all know. I love hand written letters *wink*

If nothing else please know that Jesus is amazing and we (me, my team, and the children of Africa) need your prayers. I will post again sometime in Africa.
I love you all!!

Faithful

I had a minor scare last night that almost resulted in me not leaving tomorrow. Two words for you: support raising. I felt like God promised me from the beginning that He had cattle on a thousand hills and that He was going to supply all that I needed. He again has proven Himself faithful and against the odds I am leaving tomorrow. Just when I think I know what it means to "rely on the Lord" He shows me something new.

Fun News: My grandmother bought a globe for herself so she could follow me around the world. Cool, huh?

Trust Jesus. He is Faithful!

Less than a week!

I just read Steve and Liz's blog at brannanfam.blogspot.com and I was inspired to start my own. I am leaving in less than a week and as crazy as that is I feel very ready. Sometimes life moves so fast that I feel like I can't keep up but with this new adventure ahead of me I feel like I am in just the right place at just the right time. I love Jesus so much and I want everyone to know Him no matter what it takes and no matter what it costs me.
