2 days until departure

The time is almost here!

In two days, I will fly to California, and then will travel to Mexico for a week of training/orientation.  The entire team will fly out of Los Angeles on May 29, and make the much anticipated flight to Gabon (the flight is almost 26 hours!).

This past week has been spent preparing/packing for the next 3 months.  It is my goal to pack everything in one suitcase...but I'm realizing this may be difficult to do!  I even bought "vacuum bags" to help me pack more efficiently.  If that doesn't work, I can always have my entire family sit on my suitcase while I close it :)

There are a few ways you can be praying for me as I depart for the summer.

- Safe traveling over the next couple of weeks
- Smooth transitioning to a new culture, climate, and way of life
- Strength to go out of my comfort zone (and not be overwhelmed)

I will try my best to keep you all updated on my trip.  I greatly appreciate your continued prayers and support!
