It is the time…This Sunday August 28th I will be
headed out to my first country the Philippines.  It kind of hit me this morning saying bye to my family that
this is real.  But putting all
fears aside and how much I am going to miss my family and friends, I am so darn
excited.  There are so many things
going through my head but I can’t seem to get them out.   But I do know that I can not wait
to see what the Lord has in store for me.

Since we will not have a permanent address for any real
length of time, care packages are really not allowed.  I would love for you to write me letters.  So just to save you the hassle you can
just send the mail to my home 
address:

620 Shady Creek Trail

Mesquite, TX 75150

From there my mom will take care of  them.  Also when I have internet access I would love to talk to
you.  Well through a thing called
skype.  It’s a great way to
stay  in contact while I am
gone.  If you get the chance www.skype.com and register for free.  My username is abbybarnett.

Thank you for all your prayers. I can’t wait to share this
journey with you.
