Well, I made it to Sierra Leone! It's been a long 28+ hours but I'm on the boat and settling in for the night. I met a bunch of people on my flights going to Freetown, in fact, the woman I set next to on the plane is from Freetown but lives in Virginia now with her husband and four kids...and she works as a nurse! She's here visiting her family for the next month and I hope to visit with her more during that time. I can already see God at work and I haven't even started working!
So, last week as I was finishing up work and preparing to leave I just kept thinking about how perfect my week was going. It was one of the best weeks at work I think I've ever had, I got to visit my brother, and my sweet, sweet friends and family have been such an encouragement and blessing! It made me so excited about the next 2 months and what is in store but it also made me look forward to coming back home after this experience. God's timing is so perfect in everything!! Thank you all for your love and support, your encouraging cards and prayers. God has blessed me with amazing people in my life and I hope to be a blessing here in Sierra Leone.
Time to finally get some rest. I'm sure I'll have MUCH more to say after a few days of working here on the ship.
