I'm gone.

By the time you read this, I'll be on a plane somewhere. Or even in Africa, who knows? I don't quite know what to say right now actually. I'm a mixture of so many emotions. I am ready. I know that I have been called to go out, and I'm off! I have about a 12 hour layover in Chicago, then about a 10 hour layover in London, then a flight to Kenya, then a flight to Dar es Salaam, and then an 18 hour bus ride to our village. Rock on.

I am so excited to go out. Pray for me, that I will be bold with the gospel, and that I will teach my little heart out to these kids! Pray that the language will not be a barrier, and pray for my health too! I think that I might be able to email one or two times when I get there. I wish I could contact you all, but I can't, therefore... Do us all a favor: If I contact you, leave a comment on this blog so that everyone knows whats up with me. That would be encouraging to others, and it would be like a fun update chain for all! Hooray!

I've been wanting to go on a trip like this since about junior high. So this is it. This is my dream.

Psalm 37:4 says: "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."

I love Him, and going out and teaching these kids is the desire of my heart. I'm filled with joy.

Love you guys,
Liz
