just hours away

i'm laying in bed recaping this last week in my mind. i had the best time i ever remember having. i loved every minute of my time with matt, showing him my city and showing him off to all my friends.


---> my hot manimal!




it's a pretty surreal feeling knowing that in just a few short hours, i'll head to the airport and my destiny will begin. i feel completely unworthy of the opportunity to go to africa. i've said it for the past 12 yrs. but i'm sure i will learn and be changed so much more than i will have to offer them. please keep steve, lindsey and i in your prays for wisdom, guidance and protection while there.

we spent the first few days in seattle working on these dolls that will be part of our kids camp. lindsey is pretty much a rockstar. she cut ouur and sewed 200 of these babies and we worked to turn them right side out and stuff them. thanks to matty and maryanne for all their help!





i arrive in moshi on the 30th, so i don't anticipate being able to post again until at least then...maybe a few days more depending on settling in and the layout of the town. i promise to write just as soon as i can though. and please, feel free to comment and keep in contact with me...a month is a long time to be away.
