Well, I'm just barely over two weeks from my departure date!
I'd like to send out a big thank you to everyone for the prayers, support, and encouragement -- It's been really touching to know that all of you have really helped me along with this crazy venture of mine.
So I started this blog pretty much for the sole purpose of keeping in touch while I'm there. Thankfully I will have internet access, but they would like us to keep whatever we do online fairly simple as their access can be a little finicky. So unfortunately this means no pictures while I'm there, but I'll definitely load them as soon as I can when I get back.
Right now, I'd really appreciate prayers for good health (getting over my second cold in the last 3-4 weeks), safe travels, and an ability to pack wisely! (I'm trying to take some much-needed supplies when I go).
I'm definitely excited at this point to see what God has in store for me there, but I'm definitely nervous because I know I'll be challenged -- in ways I can predict (medical knowledge with diseases I just don't see in the US) and ones I won't even see coming...
I'm not terrific at blogging, but I'll try to be good while I'm there so I can keep you all in touch.
Again, thanks a ton for your support and encouragement and please keep the prayers comin'!
