2 days!!

I caught a ride back to school on the 26th and spent my evening unpacking from break and packing the last of my things for Tanzania. I am finished and glad that part is over! Now, I have two days that I can truly focus in on the Lord and prepare my heart and mind for this trip. Please continue to pray for my team and I over the course of this trip.

Here is just one picture with many more to follow!

Packing

I can't believe how fast the time has flown by. Thanksgiving break rolled in and right back out in the blink of an eye. Returning to school for a few short weeks, my time was consumed by studying for finals and completing end of semester projects. Looks as though I passed all of my classes once again! Now that I am home again for another short break, the last minute preparation and packing is in full throttle. A day was spent shopping to pick up prescriptions and medications as well as a few light weight skirts and shirts. While packing shouldn't be all that hard, I have never flown before. So, not only am I packing for a third world country but also as a first time flier trying to make sure I carefully follow all of the rules. While it is a crazy, busy process, it is an exciting one. The countdown continues and the first flight takes off in just 9 short days.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. All of the donations and truffle purchases are greatly appreciated. Please continue to pray for my team and I throughout the trip. We have come a very long way in the planning and preparation process and we are truly excited to see what God has in store for us.
