For several years now, this journey has been on my mind...something in the distant future to think about, plan for, anticipate with excitement. This adventure is now only days away.
I find myself frantically completing last-minute travel preparations while also feeling completely overwhelmed with the emotion of this reality. I am anxious and nervous for the unknown and thrilled for the adventure. I am humbled by the opportunity to serve those in need. Finally, I am thankful for and extremely hesitant to part with my dear friends and family. Thank you for your love, support and encouragement. I will miss you and can't wait to share this adventure with you.
