Back in Zambia!

Thanks for your prayers, everyone! I made it to the base safe and sound, with all of my luggage. What a great feeling! As the plane landed I was greeted by the sight of villages tucked into the green landscape of Zambia. It's so beautiful at this time of year, with the trees full of leaves, grass is tall and green, riverbeds flowing with water. I've already begun unpacking and sorting all of my belongings. I had to kill the spiders that moved in and chase away the lizard that was clinging to the inside wall of my tent. I think I'm critter free now and look forward to falling asleep to the sound of the Zambezi rapids echoing in the gorge. I'll take some photos of the property and post them for you all soon!

Greetings from the UK!

Hello! I'm writing to you from Portsmouth, England where I have been for a week now. I can't believe how quickly it's gone by, but I've loved every minute of it. I was representing Overland Missions at Family Church's Empower Conference. There were over 300 people attending the conference and it was a great opportunity to share with people about missions.

Tomorrow I am flying to Africa and will arrive in Zambia on Saturday. I am very excited about going back and seeing what the Lord is going to do this year. Please keep my travels in your prayers, and that none of my luggage gets lost or stolen (a common occurrence traveling through Johannesburg).

My monthly newsletter will be going out once I get settled in Zambia. If you do not currently receive it, please sign up on the main page of my website.

Last Post from the USA

So this is my last post from the USA for at least 6 months, if not more. The last two days are so hectic with running around, multiple Wal-Mart trips, meeting with as many friends as possible, calling everyone and their Mom. The best feeling in the world is the moment you step on the plane, find your seat, get your carry-ons stowed, and just sit. I just like to take a deep breath and relax into my seat. The weight of stress just seems to melt off. You can no longer worry about anything you forgot to pack, if there was anything you missed at the office. All you can do is sit back and enjoy the ride!

Well, I'm not at the moment yet. I'm still in the midst of hectic packing and finishing projects. This is probably my last day I'm spending in our offices here in Florida. Tommorrow I'll devote myself to getting packed as early as possible so I can enjoy the evening with friends. My next post will be coming from Portsmouth, England!
