By the way, I am going to South Africa

In just a few short hours, I will be getting on a plane and flying half way around the world to a country I've never been to before. Earlier in the year, Liz got to visit Cambodia, a country that I dearly love. Now the roles are reversed and I get to go to the country where she fell in love with missions. To say that I am excited would be an understatement! This last minute trip is right in the wheelhouse of things that I love (spontaneity, travel, 60 degree weather, mountains, oceans, planes, relationships, Jesus!) and I am completely energized just thinking about this trip. I don't have time to go into a lot of detail, but prayer would be GREATLY appreciated. Our itinerary is jam packed with lots of church and partner visits, so prayer at any minute of any day will be incredibly helpful!

I apologize for the brevity, but to finish I want to thank all of the people in my life who have loved, supported, encouraged, advised, and prayed for me as I have prepared for this trip. I am so so so grateful!
