My bags are packed and I'm ready to go. I'm leaving- on a couple planes, with my flight time summed up to 16 hours. I'm excited, nervous, and more than ready. I had fun getting on and off the scales with my suitcases, making sure I didn't pack too much (its a couple hundred for an overweight back to Africa)! Thank you for all your support, prayers, and encouragement!
If you think of me as I fly, please pray that God will prepare my path before me. That my bags would get to Burkina with everything still in them, and that nothing would get lost or stolen, and that I would arrive safely. Who knows who I will be sitting by on the plane, but pray for them too- Ive been hearing horror stories of plane trips recently.
Next time I write God willing I will be in a time zone that is 4 hours later than the time now, where I don't know the language!

Julia, I don't pray but I will be thinking of you on your journey to, in and out of Africa. I wish you the best. You deserve this and I hope you find meaning for this trip and find God through your travels. If they speak French, say "Bonjour, comment allez vous?" That means, "Hello, how are you?" If they reply with bien et vouz? You need to say bien merci. They would have said very well and you... Then yu responded with very well thank you. Africa is a great place to be on a journey in and I hope you love it all!!! I miss you and will be thinking of you. I love you.
