The countdown is on.
18 Days until I leave for Uganda and Kenya!
I am so excited, but, I am also getting nervous. This will be the very first time that I have traveled more than a days worth of driving. I have never experienced culture shock, and homesickness. I have never been surrounded with people that don't speak english. I have no clue what to expect. I know that the Lord has called me to Africa, and that He will never give more than I can handle. I'm really praying that I can be prepared for the new things that I will see, eat, do, hear about, and experience.
I have a few things left to do on my to-do list. I need to pick up my perscription for my malaria pills, another memory card for my camera, and do some clothing shopping. Other than that, I think I am ready.
To me it seems amazing how easily this trip has come together. I know that the Lord worked everything out. Even after going through rough times financially a few months ago, I came out of that time with stronger faith, and extra money that I didn't forsee. I had a full time job handed to me, one that I was able to save up enough money from, and one that I can take time off from. And I have been able to get involved with a few bible studies that will be supporting my friend and I in prayer, which is so good.
There have been learning curves and hurdles in the year of planning this trip, and now I can't believe that we leave in 18 days. I won't be able to blog while I am away. I'm not bringing a computer, but I will journal everything, and write about it all when I get home. And there will definitely be lots of pictures. I am so excited about taking pictures.
