The Day before I leave

Well its a day before I take off and all that know me well, know that I'm just about to start packing. If I was leaving for the week this would be understanable, but im leaving for 4 months and haven't even pulled out my suitcases yet. But im kinda good at doing things super last minute so it will be fine. I think because I have a million things to do today, I haven't even been able to fathom the thought im leaving for the motherland tomorrow, by myself, for 4 months, to live in conditions far from my normal way of life. But I know that God has put this desire in my heart to go do volunteer work in Africa and has made it possible for me to go, so I know that this journey will be a true blessing and I can't wait to see how I grow and change from this experience. To my family and friends, I want you to know I love you with all my heart and I thank you for all the support you have given to me. I don't know how often I will be able to get on my blog but hopefully often enough to keep you updated with my journey to Ghana. Peace and Love:)

Yay Laura! You'll do great and have a wonderful time! I'm sure the ease of being able to buy tampons in 5 minutes will become just one thing you wont take for granted :) Good luck!!

Love you!
