I had a wonderful early Christmas yesterday, thrown before my departure to Bolivia. We had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, that orange stuff my mom makes, and a table full of goodness. I recieved gifts of shoes, sandles, and money which will go towards the mission. I am blessed with such great friends and family.
I've been keeping busy with the psycologically well aquainted date fastly approching, though still I've had a fair ammount of time to give to a social life and whatnot. I've realized that I've been consentrating a lot on going to Bolivia (which is good, and I wouldn't get there if I didn't work towards it), but what I'm doing right now is life too, and as thankful as I am to go to Bolivia and to be busy with volunteering in an orphanage and working with Ken's boys, I'm thankful now as well for the time I've been given to prepare for the future. I'm so thankful for the friends I've been rekindling relationships with-even faces I haven't seen in 11 years have become common. I'm thankful for the people I only met in late August but will miss when I leave. It's so amazing to just walk back into town and make 20 new friends. Friends who challenge and build. I'm thankful for lifetime friends. I suppose this paragraph is appropriate for the season of American Thanksgiving in the air.
So...
I recieved an e-mail earlier today which simply stated that the tickets for the flight had not yet been purchased. I am hoping it isn't to late to get them, as airplanes do have a max. So it would be good to be in prayer about that.
Prayer Requests:
-Pray for my family, as they will have one less voice in the house.
-Ask God to help me leave my friends and family once again as I head off.
-Pray that everything will work out for me to catch this flight on Friday, or whatever His will is, to be done.
-Pray that I will be at ease about whatever happens.
