Twenty-four hours to go.
I’m so excited, my adventure of a life-time is about to begin. I had plans to see a lot more people while I was here. I didn’t get to say all my good byes either. I’m so sad that I’ll miss Madelyn’s birth, and at least one wedding. But this is the life of a world traveling missionary.
I was driving through downtown Livermore tonight and it was such a weird feeling. I was looking around at all that I am leaving behind.

I hope you’ll keep in touch. I’ll be available by phone until tomorrow (Sunday) night. After that, it’s email, blog, and skype. I’ll miss everyone terribly, but am SO GRATEFUL for all the support that I’ve been given. This would be impossible without the love and support from all.
THANK YOU to everyone.
Leah! I’m so excited for you. All of the girls in our Life Group will miss you a ton. We’ll be praying for you and for safe travels. We love you, and I hope you enjoy your last 24 hours! Good luck to you and I’m sure I’ll hear from you soon.
Sending you off with my love and my prayers!! I know God is going to do amazing things through you! Saying a prayer for your parents and your brother also as I know this must be incredibly hard even though very exciting.
