Tomorrow!

Well the time has come, I leave for Rwanda tomorrow!
This has been an incredible summer. I was blessed with the opportunity to bike and build houses down the east coast with The Fuller Center. My brother, Todd and I were both able to spend a week at home at the end of June- lots of family time and we celebrated our grandfather's 90th birthday! Mom and dad were thrilled to have a full house again. :)
I was able to spend a month working my forth summer at Camp Grace Bentley. Leaving camp was hard, but I'm so glad I could still spend as much time as I could there.
And now, after packing and repacking and repacking again, all my bags are within weight limit and I'm ready to go!
Tomorrow I fly out of Detroit at 2:30 to Newark, then Newark to Brussels and Brussels to Kigali! I'll arrive in Kigali the following night at 6:30.

As crazy as it is to think that tomorrow I will be moving to Africa and starting my first job and my first year of teaching, I am feeling an incredible sense of peace. I am more nervous about teaching than I am about moving across the world. But I think overall I just know that this is exactly what God wants me to be doing and therefor know that by following His plan, He will be with me every step of the way and protect me. How awesome is it to know that we have such a God who can always be with us!

I'd still like to ask for prayers for safe travels and that all my luggage makes it to Kigali!

Thank you all again for all of your support!

Love and long flights,
