This past week I looked at Grace and said, “four weeks is a long time.”  We looked at each other with a “what are we doooing??” face...and laughed.
In a couple hours we will be on our way to The Amazon.  Even as I write that, I really have no idea what that means! 
Here are the facts: the bags are packed, the malaria meds have been taken, and the itunes have been completed in preparation of our pending 48 hour travels.  Prayers have been frantically written in journals, walmart runs have been made, and I am staying up all night because if I think about our pending adventures, I will most likely mentally negotiate my way out of this madness.
We will be floating down a river with full-time ABWE missionaries, fixing up their house boat, witnessing to local villagers, and putting on puppet shows for children along the way.

Our team is made up of Robert Rohm - the amazing Pastor at Cedarville University, three other young ladies besides Grace and myself, and six strapping gentlemen.  We have been getting to know each other bit by bit, and many a meeting has been interrupted with a fair share of chuckles - needless to say, it’s a fun group!

As we embark, I can’t thank everyone enough for their prayers and support.  We plan to do amazing work in The Amazon - and that kind of work belongs only to the Kingdom of our Father.  By His grace we will serve Him and the people of The Amazon well!

So much love, from a little darling about to set out on a big adventure <3
