We have two days left of training then we are off to PA to see our family and friends before leaving for Tanzania (TZ) on Sept. 11. I can’t believe we are 11 days from leaving. It doesn’t seem real.
We have learned a lot while at training, but I have a feeling that we really won’t know how much we have learned until we are living in TZ. That is where we will be able to apply what we have talked about in our classes. One of my favorite things was the off road course that we did last Saturday. I didn’t realize how much fun I would have driving in the woods and through water. We have had a wonderful time catching up with old friends and making new ones. The kids have made some wonderful friends and the nice thing is they will probably get to see these friends again some day.
As I think about our week of goodbyes, I want to cry, even though it hasn’t started yet. I am excited about seeing family and friends we haven’t seen for month, yet sad that it will be the last time for a while. The kids are excited to see cousins and friends.
I am thankful we do not have to do this alone. God will help us through every step of the way. Please be praying for us and our families as we say goodbye and move to TZ.
How well I know that feeling! God will give you the grace to make it through, and remember, it's not "goodbye" but "see you later"! I'm praying for you!
