After having finished cleaning and moving out of my apartment, and after having packed my bags, my parents and I finally fell asleep at 2:30am yesterday with only 2 hours of sleep to give us enough energy to say our goodbyes at the airport early that morning. (I am currently in Ontario staying with my sister.) I can't quite exactly express my feelings right now. I don't think it's quite hit me yet that I am leaving Alberta for four months to a different continent! Yet, at the same time, I am stoked beyond belief, and also nervous, too. This past week has been such a whirlwind. It seems just like yesterday that the opportunity for me to serve in Uganda was presented to me, yet that was more than eight months ago. I know that these next four months will fly by, and I hope to make the most of every moment I am there.
Late at night tomorrow, I fly out from Toronto to Amsertdam, and from there to Uganda. Thank you to all my supporters. It's so encouraging to know that I am not alone in this journey, as I have God going before me, beside me, and behind me; and I have all of you praying for me. Thank you.
I look forward to writing my next post while on Ugandan soil!
