T Minus 5 Days & Counting...

What up faithful friends?  I am currently writing from my friendly neighborhood Kaldi's Coffee in Clayton.  My friend Melissa is on her way and I am preparing for another goodbye....though it is more of a "see you later" than a goodbye.  I've been saying see ya later to a lot of people lately, so praise Jesus for our amazing group of supportive and loving family and friends.  This is crunch time.  Emily and I are so excited to actually get to do what God has been leading us to for so long, and at the same time these butterflies in my stomach keep reminding me of just how different life is going to be for the next year.  Over all the emotions (and I've been experiencing a lot) I have an overwhelming joy.  God has blessed this mission every step along the way, and it's time to dive in head first and trust Him even when I think am I really doing this?  It's going to be so hard, but I wait in eager anticipation to learn so much more about God, the world and me.  We will update again soon, but for the time being please be praying for safe travel to NY on Monday and Tanzania on Wednesday.  Please also pray that our visas and everything get through so we can arrive and get going right away!  Most of all please pray that God prepare our hearts to serve the people with humble hearts and that we will join the team in place with a unified vision!  Thanks for your love and support!!!

Until later,

Sarah
