Leaving Soon

In about 12 hours, I'll be getting on a plane. I'll have checked my bag, quadrouple double checked that my passport is securely tucked into my carry-on and said good-bye to my family. I'm leaving for Florianopolis tomorrow at 5:10 p.m. We arrive at our destination on Saturday at about 4:30p.m.--Lord willing. I'm leaving behind many of my relationships. I'll have zero to no contact with anyone back home. There is no cell service and it's expensive to make non-emergent phone calls. I'll be spending extended periods of time with my best friends parents. Isn't it suppossed to be the other way around? I'll be acting as a nurse, but instead I'll be learning. Learning from others whom I am going with, but more imporantly with those that we are going for. I've had so much on my mind lately. I'm hoping and praying that this concentrated time away from the trappings of this world will help me to see what is important. And hopefully will show me where He is guiding my path to next. Over the next few days, I'll try to update here as regularly as possible. I'll try to put up the links to Woodmont and the missionaries that we will be working with so you can see what we are doing every day. Pray for the group as we start traveling. Pray that we will be God's hands and feet and that the people of Frei Damao will see His love through us and our actions. Pray that I'll be sensitive over the next few months to God's tugging and that I will be willing to dream as David did. Until tomorrow...
