One week. One weak. Same difference.
Actual quote from our state's side liaison: " I hope this stuff scares you to death." Ironically, the information made me that much more excited to be leaving in SEVEN days.
One week till I experience culture shock all over again and also get to experience a joy, compassion, and intimacy with the Lord unlike ever before. What isn't exciting about that?
I am also really excited about getting to know the team. There are 11 others I'll be with the first 2 weeks. [ Lindsey, Will, Hillary, Elyssa, Kyndal, Rachel, Taylor, Tim, Kari, Mallory, Mike]
Together we'll grow and pray.
[join us in the praying]
Until then, I am off to the beach for a few days to relax, enjoy best friends, and get some sun on areas others than my toes and forearms.
