It’s actually here and I am finally getting on a plane to go to South America! I had all year to prepare. I bought what I thought I’d need, prayed like nothing else, and waited.
Here I am and I feel everything. Mostly tired. Launch has been exhausting and difficult to wait through. I feel scared and uncertain and excited. What should I expect? How does one prepare for culture shock? And simultaneously prepare for all that I’ll see and know? It’s a dream fulfilled, but I never knew dreams could be so frightening.
I have half an hour until the plane arrives (yes, I’m typing on my phone). I don’t have a clue when I’ll get to blog again. I thought it was important for people to know that this isn’t easy and that I don’t feel ready.
I’ll write again when I can. In the meantime, I’m going to meet Jesus in El Salvador.
