1 week to go

One week from now I will be on my way to Zambia.  So a little case of nerves settling in.  Leaving Mike, home, my bed, my bathroom!  I don't want to see a snake or a giant spider.  I spent an hour in Wal-mart buying over the counter medicines, Pepto, anti-itch and anti-bacterial ointment, travel iron with dual wattage, sunscreen and bug spray.  I'm 145.00 poorer.  Am I still excited?  Yes!

I have always said this, and always will Melinda- you are a child after God's own heart! You are amazing, talented, and beyond compassionate. I admire you for what you are doing, the sacrifices you are making, and most of all for all the Glory you are giving God through this. Godspeed my friend, and many blessings on you. I pray for protection, of your body and mind. And for strength. God Bless you!
