My first pics!

The first plane ride to DC














My favorite-Fish Food! I had one last stop at Ben and Jerry's for ice cream!














Gotta love the plane food...not too bad actually!














I hardly slept on the plane...I was sooo tired!

The Embree kids! Yay!

Mary Hawkins, along with Marissa and Mya, came to the airport to get me as Ella had ministry she was involved with, and Mary volunteered. Thanks Mary!! :)

I'm in Africa!!

Well, I made it into South Africa around 3 pm today (9 am MI time)after 19 hours of flying. It was an un-eventful trip, aside from it being very long! I was picked up by Mary Hawkins, the Word of Life missionary I'll be working with on occasion. Ella was doing ministry, so Mary came and got me...thanks Mary! Tomorrow is a chill day, and then I leave with the Embrees to go on holiday for 5 days. We are going to a cottage in the mountains and then over to the beach in Durban. I am looking forward to it. From there is it battlezone camp with the teens, and then onto Swaziland on a missions trip with the Embrees church, where we will help with construction, puppets, etc. It's going to be a very busy 2 weeks!

I tried uploading a couple pics, but it didn't work. I'll try again tomorrow!

Have a great week!

It's OFFICIAL!

Today:
-The ONE WAY ticket to South Africa was purchased....aagh! It's really happening!
-I cleaned some more out of my room to give/throw away.
-Best Buy has said that my computer is on the way, and should arrive on Monday..Praise the Lord for this one! I was a bit stressed about it!
-Mom and I went to the Zoo! It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day, and I was hoping I'd be able to go one more time.






I leave 2 weeks from tomorrow, and am SOOO excited! Thanks for your prayers, support, and encouragement! :)

Gettin' ready for the d-a-n-c-e!

Friday night, the girls had their daddy-daughter dance, so Kerry and I had a girls night out. We did dinner and a movie. (Confessions of a shopaholic) It was such a fun night. I loved watching the girls get dressed up.
