63 hours and counting

I am sitting in the Paulson's kitchen trying so hard to get things done, but my brain is not cooperating. I am going last minute shopping tomorrow and as of right now I have three different shopping lists. Every time I start concentrating on one thing, I think of something else and therefore nothing ever gets done. So it will be a miracle if I finish this blog post before I leave.

I am so close! I feel like I have constant butterflies fluttering around in the pit of my stomach. Being in Waxhaw is great, especially at the Paulsons, because they know what they are doing, and it makes me less nervous. Here is the run down for the next couple days.

I am getting all of the last minute stuff I need. If you are around I'd love to see you, but my driving is dependent on my parents. So the closer to Waxhaw you are, the better!

Allie flies in from California in the morning and we pack and repack until all of our baggage weighs exactly 44 lbs

Allie, Mr. Scott. Connie, and I fly out of Charlotte airport around 1. I think we fly to New York and then to London I am not quite sure.

We arrive in Nairobi, Kenya! We will be there for several days staying at a guest house and getting adjusted. Mr. Scott will leave us here.

We fly out of Wilson airport to Lokichoggio, Kenya. From there we will catch a plan to Yei, Sudan.   

From here on our schedule is tentative. There will be internet access and Yei so I will be able to keep you updated as much as possible. I am so grateful to be going! I have waited and prayed for so long. God is faithful. Here is what I have been praying for the past several days.

1. Safety as we travel.
2. All of my funding has not come in yet. It would be a blessing to leave completely covered for the trip.
3. Psalm 37. That I would not worry, that I would trust Him, delight myself in Him, and be still before Him.

almost there!
