My bags are packed, I'm ready to go...
I can't believe I leave tomorrow morning already! Planning and preparations have gone so quickly and I continue to be encouraged by the support raised to date. Approximately half of my support needs have come in, so if you are on the fence about sponsoring me, then hop off and do it! :) Thanks, friend.
The gal renting my place while I'm away (Hannah) is now all moved in and ready to start her internship next week. The awesome folks over at EBM called to pray with me today for safe travels and a productive trip, and my project management coworkers and I went out for a bon voyage lunch as well. Everyone at work has been so supportive and sharing my excitement. I suppose that it is contagious!
In fact, this week I found out that a coworker in my organization emigrated from Haiti with his parents when he was 11. He brought in the December 1920 edition of National Geographic for me to read - it contained several historically interesting articles about Haiti. It was in amazing condition for being almost 100 years old!
I finished packing last night and am hoping that the suitcase that I borrowed from my mom doesn't exceed weight limits with all the stuff I've crammed into it. I only got 4 hours of sleep last night so I was totally dragging at work today and am looking forward to the little bit of sleep I'll get tonight before I need to arise for my 6:30AM flight. Please pray for safe travel and restful sleep. I will attempt to make a post this weekend upon my arrival.
