So guys, I made it !!! Im sitting here in the airport waiting to board my plane in 7 hours. By tonight ill be unpacked in my missionary home in the heart of Nicaragua. I got to tell you that I dont really know how to feel, im crazy excited, yet nervous. To think that this airport is the last piece of 1st World comfort i'll experiance for the next 9 months, is just mind boggling. If it was'nt for my incrediable team I really dont think I would be able to get on that plane. Speaking of my team, it would probably be appropiate to introduce them to you now. My team consists of my amazing team leader Ellen followed by Cristy, Riley and Rebecca. All I kept telling people back home before I left was, that if it was'nt for these four people, there is no way I would beable to follow through with this trip. Truley the most honest and courageous people I have ever met in my life.

Wanna give a HUGE shout out to all my family and friends back home. Thanks for making my summer one of the best I have ever had . I'll keep you guys in my prayers and make sure to keep in touch where ever I am. From what I have heard, these next few months are going to be great for communication because my missionary home is fully equiped with Wifi!!!! Super excited about that, so make sure you send me your skype names so I can stay connected with all of you. Love you guys all so much and will continue to speak the word across the nations. Special thanks to my lovely Mom and Auntie who have made this decision so easy to make. Showing the love and strength I needed to leave home. Thanks so much
