I'm leaving on a jet plane....

Well this is it.  It's really here.  Tomorrow afternoon I am going to be getting on a plane for a 22 hour trip to Tanzania Africa.  I can't begin to share the excitement, and anxiety I am feeling.  We have a pretty good idea of what our itinerary is going to be when we get there which makes it nice to prepare, but at the same time there can be no doubt that there will be so much that we are unprepared for.  IT is a culture and a language that we have NO familiarity with and although we have been told and are trying to just focus on the two weeks before us, you really can't stop yourself from thinking that we are doing this in order to prepare for possibly  spending a lot longer portion of our lives here, for raising our kids here.  What are you looking for in a country and culture when you are wondering if this can be 'home'.? 

  Please keep us in  your prayers,  keep our babies in your prayers the thought of leaving them is becoming unbearable.

  Alright well since in just about 24 hours I am going to be getting on a plane I think that I should probably go and start thinking about packing...

   Oh come on don't act surprised anyone who knows me had to know that I hadn't packed yet.
