So, I am in Texas; after many months of waiting I am here! In one of my previous posts I said I would be freaking out...and that I was!
Yesterday morning I was told that my flight was leaving two hours earlier than I had originally read! Basically I read the flight schedule wrong :s Good thing I was arriving 2 1/2 hours early for my flight and that my mother knows how to speed...just a little! So after an hour of traveling and PRAYING we made it to the airport with and hour to get on my flight! My Aunt Nae said that she prayed that God would just clear the way for me so that I could make my flight and there was no one in line at Frontier! He definatly answered everyones prayers and I made my flight even with a bathroom break before! So that WAS my freak out moment!
As for the rest of the trip everything went super smooth! I met Brian Smith the coordinator for the trip along with Gary the President of Every Orphan's Hope and my partner in crime, Anna! We went out for dinner and learned a little information on how EOH came around! I am enjoying my time in Texas that is for sure and getting really excited to experience this adventure!
Today we just have "Team Bonding", basically more learning and training! Oh and just so you all know, especially Lindsey, Brian said that Zambia is like the Mid-West of Africa...so we will be really safe! :)
We will be flying out on Thursday and traveling all day! After talking with Brian I have an update as to how long my flight is...we fly 2 hours to Washington D.C. and then from there we will leave and have a 12 hour flight to South Africa, following that we will have another 2 hour flight to Zambia and arrive there early in the morning on Saturday!
LOVE you all and thanks for your prayers!
