Tomorrows the big day & I am so blessed

Forgive me, I am not very good at this 'blogging' thing yet, but I imagine I'll be a pro by December.

I leave tomorrow -crazy huh? The good news is that I can hardly wait. After all this preparation (mental, physical, spiritual) I am ready to begin this journey. Saying goodbye this week has been a difficult part of the process, but thank you everyone for all of your kind words.

I have been overwhelmed with beautiful letters, encouraging books, and really thoughtful gifts to keep me in touch with life back here. Thank you for the love, the support, and of course the prayers. Not only most recently, but through out this process. One more big step: Travel.

My flight leaves at 4pm Central time. I will arrive in Cochabamba, Bolivia in the arms of the Timmer family (& the NP team I think) at 9a on May the 12th. This will be the highest point thus far. Although I know that there will be points that I miss home and miss things about here, there is purpose in what I am doing: I can hardly wait to become a servant in furthering the kingdom of God.
THANK YOU!

See you soon Kristen & Timmer Family!
