5 days...

I leave in only 5 days!! Yeah Buddy!! I officially have all my support raised so thankfully money is not a worry any longer. I am SO excited. I know that this trip is going to be a monumental experience for me and I will make friends that I will never forget. I have already been in contact with the 3 servant team members people I'll be with: Katie (not sure of her age but I know she's the oldest), Jeremy (whom I've know a very long time), and Eric (who is cousins with a friend from church..crazy). Katie and I will be living with the Zizers, a Sierra Leonian Pastor and his family. Jeremy and Eric will be living with a young married couple and if I have read the e-mails correctly that family simply lives downstairs from the Zizers so we'll get to see eachother often.
I have been looking at the websites of people who just went on a servant team trip to Sierra Leone so I have seen the home I"ll be staying at, some of the kids I'm working with, the market place I'll shop at most often, and some of the beautiful land that is Sierra Leone. I teared up as I looked into the faces of those whom I will soon call friends. God has been teaching me ubundantly more than I ever thought this summer and I cannot wait to share it with my soon to be new friends.
As most of you know, London recently stopped some terrorist attacks and so security has been upped everywhere. We're flying into London so hopefully the added time at security doesn't prevent us from making it on to our next flight in time. I doubt it will be a problem and if there is, it simply means a delay.
Basically I have no worries at this point. I'm just ready to go. I know I am going to miss you all dearly but it is only for a short while and I am ready to serve. I am almost done packing; and if one looked at what I was packing they'd probably come to the conclusion that I was a drug addict packing for church camp. :)
Well, that's it for now. Prayin hard for His will,
