And We're Off!

Well, Kelsy and Julie have made it safely to Freetown, Sierra Leone. This will be the last entry on US soil! This week of preparation has been very interesting. I've felt very detached from my body, but God has faithfully guided me in getting everything done that I needed to get done before leaving. Tomorrow I will be driving to Seattle and then on Sunday I fly out at 8:30 am. I should be arriving in Freetown at around 8:30(pst) or 4:30 there.
It has seemed very strange saying good-bye to people for a year, it's somewhat surreal to me. I think it will finally hit me once I'm there.
I'm not sure how much I will be able to update this, hopefully as much as I want, but technology can sometimes be a problem. Please continue to keep us all in your prayers. Thank-you, Kristen
