Adventures in Brazil

I leave in 9 hours. Yikes!!! I've been talking with a lot of people these past couple days, and the common questions are:

Have you packed?

...No. Well, I started...

How long is the flight?

I just looked at my ticket (better late than never, right?). I have a 3 1/2 hour flight to Texas, a 2 hour layover, and then a 10 1/2 hour flight into Sao Paulo (that's the doozie).

Who's picking you up on the other end?

The pastor of the church has very kindly arranged to pick me up at the airport. We'll drive about 6 hours (I think) back to Marilia.

How do you feel?

Gosh I honestly don't know how I feel! I think it still hasn't hit me. I'm sure it will hit me once I'm one the plane... and then I'll freak out.

How can I be praying for you?

I'm not a huge fan of flying, so maybe for peace while I'm on the planes and safe travels.

Also that I connect with the pastor and everything goes smoothly in terms of getting picked up, etc.

Please also pray that the Lord would calm my heart and just make His presence so evident in every interaction and situation.

Thank you so much for all of your love an support. I am sooooooooo excited, and can't wait to tell you all about my adventures in Brazil!!!
