Next Week!

Next Saturday I will be boarding a plane to fly to Africa! I can't believe I'm actually going! It's been such a short time planning and such a crazy opportunity that I can't believe it acutally happening and I probably won't until I'm on the plan over the ocean! I'm excited but nervous at the same time. I have no idea what I'm going to encounter. I've bought things for all types of weather and experiences, now I just need to pack. My mom doesn't understand why I haven't started packing and why I wasn't done packing a week ago. I'm they type of person who likes to pack only a day or 2 before I leave simply because I use a lot of the things that I need to pack, so why put it in a bag only to take it out a few minutes later so I can wear it or use it to brush my teeth. I'll pack on Weds. after two days of working 12 hour shifts.

I recently found out that I won't be able to get internet access over there. It's very limited and slow so our team leader will be sending a generalized email out to someone of our choosing and then they can send it to everyone else. So if you email me your email address lbotzenhart@liberty.edu then I can make a list to give to my parents to send out. Once I get back I will be sure to post pictures on here and send everyone I can some information about my trip.

I want to thank everyone for supporting me both prayerfully and financially. I really appreciate it! Please continue to pray especially while I'm over there. I'm a bit nervous so just pray that everything will go smoothly and effectively.

Thanks again!
