So tomorrow we leave Sault Ste. Marie to start our journey to Africa. We start the trip with a greyhound bus trip to Montreal where we will make camp for the next few days. Then Saturday we get on a plane landing in Africa on Sunday 10:10 pm (2 pm Eastern Standard Time). It all feels so surreal and the whole idea of it is incredibly exciting!
The ministry we are going through is called Watoto. I am so in love with this organization and the work that they are doing. To me, its a ministry that is there really raising people up to be the leaders that they are called to be. We ourselves will be working in the baby home doing whatever is needed. I am super excited about the tons of baby clothes that so many people have generously donated and looking forward to filling the clothes with some very precious babies!
As much as we will miss everybody back home, (including my cute little kitty Tazsie that I am so sad to be leaving), I am incredibly excited about the next few weeks that lie ahead. Please everybody if you see my bff Kyna give her a big hug for me as I miss her and her youngings terribly already. I'm sure the next posting you'll see will be from a very ecstatic girl in Africa!
