And now…the time you’ve all been waiting for!!!
I’m leaving the country!  Tomorrow I head back to grandma’s to say goodbyes and then Saturday fly to Miami to meet up with the rest of my team.  We will be departing for the Dominican Republic the next morning.  I can’t wait!
While I’m gone I’m sure you’ll all miss me so much and want to know how you can keep in touch.  Well here’s the deal. 
1.  Read my blog.  I will be updating as often as possible and please feel free to leave comments to brighten my day!
2.  You can still email me but don’t expect instant replies…I don’t know how often I’ll get to use the internet and blogging will be my first priority.
3.  If you feel so inclined as to bless me with an old-fashioned hand written note, I’ve been told this is a possibility.  AIM sends our coaches to meet us at the end of each month and they will be able to bring letters to us.  They ask that it is limited to about 5 letters per person/ a month and they must be flat letters (no packages or anything like that).  But I would greatly appreciate them and they can be sent to AIM headquarters at this address….

I love you all and thank you so much for all the love, prayers and support.  I feel privileged to have this opportunity to spread God’s love around the world.  I ask that God blesses each and everyone of you this new year and am looking forward to sharing this journey with you!
 
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
