Off to the airport

Hello everyone,

I just have a quick minute to update you all. First off, I want to thank you so much for your prayers, encourageme​nt, and support.

I leave for the airport in t-minus 15 minutes. Got a flight into Johannesbur​g on the opening day of the World Cup there (thank you God!) and will fly to Michigan via Atlanta. I will arrive home around noon tomorrow (Saturday).​ Ryan arrived home last night to be with my mom.

This trip coincides perfectly with my need for more Polident for my jaw appliance...​which I cannot find here in Botswana. So there's a perk... ;)

Anyway, I treasure your comments and actually copied them into a document to be able to re-read them on the plane. It is helpful feeling surrounded by love and prayers.

I went for a run last night to the 'bush' so I could be alone with God at sunset. Well...alon​e until the herd of goats showed up. My heavenly Father has been holding me up. Last night, I re-read a lot of email corresponde​nce with Dad and found much of it either meaningful or hilarious. I hope to share more when I'm home.

Ok, off I go...now I have to say goodbye to two of my housemates (they will be gone before I return)...a​nd they've been here the whole time I've been here...so it's kinda like saying goodbye to family here too. Please pray for traveling mercies this busy World Cup time.

Thanks again for all your prayers and support!
lov​e,
