On My Way!

The 3:30am wake up and 4am cab ride to the airport are all a distant memory as I sit here in Miami waiting for connection to Managua. I am usually a nervous wreck on planes, this time it was beautiful and peaceful as we glided away from Washington DC, overlooking the city as dawn was yet to break. The lights glowed, the sun began to rise on the horizon.

Last night (as I was frantically packing - and did by the way successfully fit a sleeping bag in my luggage, along with enough bug spray for 5 mission groups), Cathy from my church presented me with a package of cards and letters from my church for me to read, one for each day of my trip.

Let me share the first one: a Good Luck card from Cathy that contains a wonderful note with a bon voyage message from all my church friends and a "Prayer for Mission."

Thank you church, I will have much to report back to you, my friends and my family.
