First of all, you guys are amazing. I have never felt more loved or cherished for who I am. I am so glad that I met all of you before leaving on my trip and get to know many of you through class, working together, the Wesley, or however else we know each other.
I know it seems like I am just going off and meeting all these people and having the time of my life, but the truth is that I am going to mourn the time that I will miss when I’m gone. I’ll miss my family’s birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, my closest friends, and I won’t get to talk to anyone on a regular basis. The fact is, I’m not looking forward to leaving, but I am also more excited than anything to leave. I can’t wait to meet the people I am going to love on, interview, listen to, and pray for. I can’t wait to come back and tell you all about it.
Thank you all for keeping up with my journey, praying for me, donating to my mission, and believing in what I am going to go do. My supporters are more influential than you can imagine, and I pray for you all every day. God has blessed me with amazing friendships and connections.
I leave in 2 weeks, so if any of you want to meet up and talk over coffee, food, or anything, just let me know. I fly out on the 2nd, so get with me fast! I would love to share my heart, my plans, and I would love to talk about the countries I’ll be going to.
