Leaving on a jet plane...

It's finally here! I thought it would never get here, and then when it did I was left wondering where the time had gone! Sarah and I are meeting at the airport early in the morning and flying to Portland to meet the other single girls in the class for orientation. Then on September 5th, we're all flying over to Davao. Please pray that we'll all be safe as we travel and that our first few days together will be good. I'm not sure what is in store for us these next few days, but I can't wait to see what happens! Thanks everyone!

Only one more week!

It's almost here! Only seven more days and I'm off! I am soo super excited and I can't wait to get there and begin learning. There's still all the goodbyes to do, and I really hate that part. I know that I'm gonna miss everyone over here a ton. Pray for me this week. I really need it. There's still a bunch of stuff to get done and time is definitely running out. Thanks everyone!

Almost there!

It really is amazing that in three short weeks I'll be flying out to Portland for orientation and a few days later I'll be in the Philippines! It's getting kinda crazy here now with everything that needs to get done before I go. Things to buy, stuff to pack, people to see, letters to mail. It's been amazing how God is blessing me. Things are falling into place and overall, everything is going smoothly. I've got all the medical equipment I need (fetal doppler, stethoscope, BP cuff, to name a few) and the entire first year of tuition has been paid for. Praise the Lord! God continues to bless me and show me over and over again that He is in control. These last few weeks are going to be filled with preparations for school and spending time with friends and family before I leave. Please keep me in your prayers as I finish things up, and continue to pray that the remainder of the support I need will come in. God bless!
